Germany reporting in, couldn't see that becoming a thing here. I have about 99% wfh currently, and if my employer would try to implement something like that, the union would probably not even have time to get involved because the works council ("Betriebsrat", not sure if that's a good translation) would swat it down instantly.
It sounds insane, but believable for the US (but that might be my bias showing, I've always heard bad things about worker's rights in the US).
- manuelmoreale 2y agoYeah I’m in Italy and I don’t know anyone who’s dealing with all that nonsense that’s why I was wondering if this is a US thing.
- Zak 2y agoThe fact that you have a Betriebsrat along with strong unions is why that sort of thing doesn't happen. Many European countries have works councils with a similar union-adjacent role. I'm not aware of an equivalent in the USA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_council https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Works_council
