Remote workers union? (lemmy.world)

Does anyone have knowledge and or experience with forming a union in the US? After doing some mild research I failed to find a union that represents telework / work from home employees, specifically those who are facing return to office mandates from their corporate overlords.

This is a really good point, with WFH workers being diffused among the workforce, having just your work-from-home employees on strike might not actually put enough of a dent in your operations for you to care, as an executive.

But on the other hand being part of that single digit percentage of wfh employees might put you in a disadvantage in every company, union and policy.

Funny, just like being of any other minority.
