Los Angeles City Attorney Candidates Debate Telework Policies Amid Election Campaign
In the race for Los Angeles City Attorney, incumbent Hydee Feldstein Soto and challenger Marissa Roy are clashing over telework policies. Feldstein Soto, who implemented a policy requiring most staff attorneys to work in the office at least three days a week, argues that in-person work fosters teamwork and allows for better supervision of new employees. This policy has been met with resistance from the Los Angeles City Attorneys Association, which has not yet endorsed a candidate for the upcoming election. Roy, a deputy state attorney general, advocates for a more flexible approach, suggesting that city attorneys should only be required to work in the office two days a month, similar to the policy at the state attorney general's office. This debate highlights differing views on work-life balance and the role of remote work in public service.
