flag Nebraska court hears if state must bargain over remote work policy; NAPE seeks to overturn $40K in fees.

flag The Nebraska Supreme Court heard arguments over whether the state must negotiate with the Nebraska Association of Public Employees (NAPE) about Governor Jim Pillen’s 2023 order requiring most state workers to return to in-person work. flag NAPE argues the policy changes working conditions and requires bargaining, especially regarding ongoing remote work and associated costs like commuting. flag The state and Labor Relations Commission ruled no negotiation is needed, citing contract language granting the state authority over work locations, and awarded over $40,000 in legal fees to the state, which NAPE seeks to overturn. flag The court focused on procedural issues and fees rather than the policy’s merits, leaving the broader dispute unresolved.
