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.

    Generally unions are per place or per trade at least. An employer of any decent size would likely just shrug it off if 10% of their staff went on strike and replace them under the guise of layoffs and cutbacks. The other big factor with remote work being that it’s super easy to just grab some people from places like India or the Philippines where they have sizable outsourcing industries set up and far less employee protections.
