Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

I've been WFH since 2019 and in the last 2 months they're trying to get me back in. I've had 3 different calls about it, each time it's escalated to a higher manager.
The calls basically go the same way each time, they'd like me back in the office, I ask if I'm not meeting targets and in told I am. Next I ask if there is anything I'm doing wrong, there isn't. They go on to say it's for team morale, cohesion etc and I ask if there has been an complaints and I'm told no, I say I'm having no problems with everybody I need to communicate with. Then I say I don't understand why I can't continue WFH if there isn't a problem as I'm saving about 10-15k a year in fuel & childcare. Then they just say they're happy to leave it like it is...
I haven't looked into it too hard but as an Aussie I think it's gonna be pretty hard for them to force me back in
