Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown says he plans to follow the province's lead and require city employees to return to in-office work full-time next year.
The provincial government announced Thursday that public servants will be required to be in the office four days a week beginning Oct. 20, and ramp up to five days a week by Jan. 5.
Brown said on a Newstalk 1010 radio show this morning that the decision to follow suit in Brampton was made Thursday evening.
He said the province's decision was "long overdue" and that in-office work is better for productivity.
Public service union AMAPCEO is encouraging workers to sign a petition it published on Friday morning asking the provincial government to reconsider the decision.
