Oh wow... No union even required. When a workplace gets "upgraded" to open plan, if two or more workers refuse to come in out of protest, they cannot be fired. Sounds like a great way to work from home for as long as open plan lasts. (IANAL) Remember this, HNers! https://www.nlrb.gov/rights-we-protect/protected-concerted-activity https://www.nlrb.gov/rights-we-protect/protected-concerted-a... The law we enforce gives employees the right to act together to try to improve their pay and working conditions, with or without a union. Is the activity concerted? Generally, this requires two or more employees acting together to improve wages or working conditions, but the action of a single employee may be considered concerted if he or she involves co-workers before acting, or acts on behalf of others. Does it seek to benefit other employees? Will the improvements sought – whether in pay, hours, safety, workload, or other terms of employment – benefit more than just the employee taking action? Or is the action more along the lines of a personal gripe, which is not protected?
