Teleworking Through the Snow

During the huge snowstorms that blanketed the Washington area last winter, employees in at least one agency teleworked their way through the days-long government shutdown.

Ed O'Keefe reports today on a survey by the National Labor Relations Board inspector general showing that half of NLRB employees said they worked at home for at least some period of time during the storm.

The employees put in an average of about three hours per day of work. More than two thirds of employees who responded to the survey said they had a government-issued laptop they could bring home if necessary.

The real troopers, though, were the 6.4 percent of NLRB employees who said they struggled into the office at least one day during Snowmageddon.
