City Staff Ideas Challenge
#nycspeaks2022 Share your ideas for bold actions the Mayor should take
Make telework an option for positions where teleworking works. Working from home can reduce the city budget for office space, office equipment, office supplies, insurance, utilities and many more. Teleworking should be seriously considered as a way for NYC to save money while NYC has such a large amount debt. Mass transit is terrible, it shouldnt take someone the same amount of time to get around NYC on mass transit than it takes to drive to the outskirts Pennsylvania or Connecticut.

Conversation with Tommy Frias
I would much rather get a telework hybrid option than get a raise. Work/life balance is more valuable than money.
I hope everyone is calling their union and letting them know that the telework option should be #1 priority on the bargaining table.
Absolutely Tommy Frias, It has to be an initiative from both ends the city and the union to insure accountability and support.
On January 12th, 2022, The NY State Assembly in Albany introduced bill (A.457) which is called the NYC Telework Expansion bill. This is a step in the right direction. Mayor Adams and City Council needs to get on board and support this teleworking idea. Ask and you may receive, so let’s keep putting the pressure on our unions and our elected representatives at the city and state levels.
