Time for Telework
The National Treasury Employees Union praised Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., Wednesday for urging the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Director Carl Truscott to work with the union on implementing a broad telework program. According to NTEU, Wolf said that a telework program would increase employee productivity, allow more family time for employees and help alleviate the current spike in gasoline prices.
In related news, Reuters reported Wednesday that "telecommuting is becoming a win-win for companies and their staff." Along with reducing employees' need to fill up their gas tanks, Reuters says that telework offers other "hidden benefits for employers."--Daniel Pulliam
