The IRS is struggling to get its employees back to work in person at least 50% of the time, and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the agency’s labor union is the chief hurdle.
In striking testimony to Congress, Ms. Yellen suggested that the department could have to renegotiate the contracts to get those employees back to their desks more often.
“Some of the employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. They’re members of a union and to enforce those rules requires an agreement with the union,” she told the Senate Appropriations Committee on Tuesday.
