Interim Austin City Manager Jesus Garza is defending his decision to require city employees to return to the office.
"All it's going to do is create inefficiencies and make it really much harder to get our work done," said Lora Lee Tucker, an I.T. worker for the city.
"Well, I didn't know that I was negotiating with the union. I was we got input, and we've got input all along," Garza said. "My wish would be that they wouldn't. But if that is, if they feel that they need to do that, I completely understand it," said Garza.
