LINCOLN — A state agency’s decision about whether to let Gov. Jim Pillen’s return-to-office order take effect Jan. 2 could come down to the wire.

The Commission of Industrial Relations heard arguments Thursday on a motion for temporary relief filed by the Nebraska Association of Public Employees, the state’s largest employee union.

The commission made no immediate decision on the motion and asked for additional briefs from both sides. The briefs are to be filed Tuesday and Wednesday next week, which will leave only two business days before the directive is to be implemented.

Presiding Commissioner William Blake said he understands the need to decide the issue “as quickly as possible,” but he made no promises.
