Rep. Barry Moore supports legislation to get federal employees back to work for the American people

Washington, D.C. — Rep. Barry Moore (AL-02) released the following statement after voting in support of H.R. 139, the SHOW UP Act.

“The Biden Administration's expansion of COVID telework policies has delayed critical assistance to veterans, tax refunds, passport approvals, and other core government services,” said Moore. “Time and time again over the last two years, my office has heard COVID telework policy used as an excuse for government agencies to delay responses and assistance to my constituents. It's past time to end these policies so that the American people, whose tax dollars are paying the salaries of these employees, can get the help they deserve."

Background:

The Stopping Home Office Work’s Unproductive Problems (SHOW UP) Act prevents the Biden Administration from cementing pandemic-era telework policies for the federal workforce until it provides Congress with a viable plan to avoid the negative impacts of remote work.
