In today’s news and commentary, details of Abruzzo and Wilcox’s termination letter emerges, Dollar General instructs store managers on how to respond to ICE agents, and OPM says federal CBA’s that provide for remote work are “unenforceable.”

Details have emerged of the termination letter sent to Jennifer Abruzzo and Gwynne Wilcox last week. Sent from the Office of Presidential Personnel “on behalf” of President Trump, the letter said Abruzzo and Wilcox had “unduly disfavor[ed] the interests of employers,” and specifically criticized the Board for barring captive audience meetings and expanding the definition of a joint employer. Wilcox said she would pursue “all legal avenues” to challenge her removal, “which violates long-standing Supreme Court precedent.”

Bloomberg reports that Dollar General has issued a memo to store managers instructing them on how to deal with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents who are looking for employees or customers. Among other guidance, the memo says to “Ask the agent to meet with the employee outside the store and away from customers and other employees if possible.” Dollar General has the most US locations of any retailer, with over 19,000 stores.

A memo from the Office of Personal Management argues that federal employees can be required to report to the office full time even if their union contract allows them to work remotely. CBA’s that provide for telework are “likely unlawful and unenforceable,” wrote OPM Acting Director Charles Ezell. Ezell’s memo comes after President Trump directed agency leadership to reject union contracts “reached but not finalized” in the last 30 days of President Biden’s term and criticized a new CBA for Social Security Administration employees that would preserve remote work until 2029.
