If there is anything that can actually get a tech worker unionization effort going, it's going to be the back and forth on these RTO policies. Folks have tried in the past around non-competes, or equity tomfoolery, but this is people's lives, family, kids schooling, etc. We know WFH works, if you spend the time to make it work, and upsetting folks lives doesn't make for positive employee relations.

I have nothing to add, but I wanted to say this is a really good point. If nothing else could persuade me to join or help create a union, it would be these brain-damaged RTO initiatives.

You can literally solve the housing cost issue if every company guaranteed remote. Live and work anywhere, housing solved.
