FILE - Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker at Philadelphia International Airport in Philadelphia , Friday, Feb. 16, 2024. Parker announced Monday, May 20, 2024, that all city employees must resume working full-time in their offices as of July 15. Mayor Cherelle Parker made the announcement Monday, saying she wants to create a more visible and accessible government.

Parker said about 80% of the city’s 26,000 employees have been working fully on-site since last year, while the remainder have worked between 31 to 75 hours per-pay-period on site. In a statement issued Monday, Local President David Wilson said the policy would worsen the municipal worker shortage the city has suffered since the pandemic. He also said that making the change over the summer, when children are out of school, will likely complicate schedules for parents.Ex-Ukrainian president says US delay in war aid was ‘colossal’ waste, let Putin inflict more damage“It has become clearer than ever that the mayor doesn’t care for her city work force,” Wilson said.
