This is a great example of how not to work with remote workers. You chose to organize your team as if everyone is local, so your remote people are left out of the loop. You should have discussed via IM or in a hangout. You can't have your cake and eat it to. You are either are remote team or a local team, there is no in-between. You have remote people, so you are a remote team and you need ALL team interaction to be online. So absolutely no in-person meetings unless you fly your remote people in.
