Sorry, but you can't make up 'rights' as you go. When did remote work became a right and why? I too can make up 'rights' that I'd like to have. For instance, I'd like to to be the 21st century right for every employee to get 50% of the company profit IN ADDITION to their salary. Why? Because I think it's a right. After all, don't employees drive company profits? Shouldn't they be compensated properly? I sure would. It's very easy to claim that salary alone is not enough and only profit-sharing is fair (BTW, there are companies that work this way - and this is great). If you think that your argument is correct, turn in the other way around. Let's say you are a consumer of goods and services. You want education? Great - no more face to face learning in the lecture room. Only Zoom and video. Why? Because it's teachers right. Lawyers and doctors - no office visits, unless it's emergency. Why? They have the right to work from home too. Shopping? Online orders only man. It's the right. Would you want to live in the world that works this way? Probably not.

sure you can make up rights, most of them will be rejected, but if society at large likes them they 'll become permanent. Remote work increases the freedom of the individual, is beneficial to the environment, has negligible-or-positive effect to economic output. It's hard to make a case against it, especially since it doesn't violate anybody else's rights (the "remote" location can be the office)

In fact legislators don't need to enforce anything yet, but they need to make remote work more feasible. Things like, don't require physical headquarters or physical paperwork and inspections, don't tie any kind of taxation/social security etc to physical locations, facilitate faster switching of jobs etc.
