How California and its unions have reached peak absurdity
Entitled California unions will make any excuse to prevent their members from (gasp!) returning to work in the office.
From rats and roaches to diversity to childcare costs, union reps have dropped a litany of reasons why they shouldn’t have to get dressed, commute in and show up, despite a state order to report to work four days a week starting July 1, 2026.
The latest laugher: If they drive to work, their cars will emit carbon emissions, exacerbating climate change.
A union representing state legal workers now argues –– we kid you not –– that a directive that state workers return to the office requires a thorough environmental review.

A union representing state legal workers now argues –– we kid you not –– that a directive that state workers return to the office requires a thorough environmental review.
In a scathing letter, the union called the directive –– initially issued by Gov. Gavin Newsom in 2024 –– “a discretionary decision that will have myriad environmental impacts that must be analyzed, disclosed, and mitigated.”
Well, that sounds like a long process. Perhaps the idea is to delay any real obligation to show up until all current state workers have retired.
Naturally, the union threatens legal action if the state declines to comply.
Hmm. Who exactly is in charge here?
It doesn’t sound like Newsom or legislators, or the Californians who pay for it all: salaries, empty state offices, litigation, CEQA reviews and more.
The union demands land as self-centered, heavy-handed and very entitled.
