Minneapolis city workers must return to office next month while council will continue meeting remote

Hundreds of Minneapolis city employees will be required to return to the office part-time beginning Jan. 10, even as the city remains under a state of emergency because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the city council plans to meet remotely through at least mid-February.

The move has angered some workers, who say the risks of bringing workers back to the office far outweigh the benefits.

“Working from home is working well,” said Nick Brambilla, a business analyst in regulatory services and board member of the Minneapolis Professional Employees Association, a union representing about 600 city workers. “And with omicron, there’s so many unknowns.”

Under the city’s so-called “Next Normal” plan, employees will be required to return to the office at least two days a week.

This article is misleading! Not all Minneapolis city employees will be made to go into the office. There are departments that are not making employees go back to the office and will continue to work remotely. It's a Department by Department/person by person decision.
