Do You Have to Negotiate Your Office Return-to-Work Plans?

Many – if not most – employers have begun asking, and in some cases demanding, their workers return to the workplace after a couple of years of allowing remote and/or flexible work arrangements. Companies may encounter various morale and cultural obstacles (e.g., pushback) in addition to legal issues (e.g., addressing reasonable accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act) once they go down this path. Employers with unions have yet another layer of nuance to deal with: collective bargaining.
