Chris Aylward and other public sector union leaders are challenging the federal government's requirement for members to be in the workplace at least three days a week, threatening coordinated disruptions.
Despite the pandemic subsiding, only 20% of Canadians still work mainly from home, indicating a decreased trend from the peak of 40% during the height of the pandemic, yet a significant increase from 7% in 2019.
Return-to-office mandates have been a contentious issue within the federal public service, leading to strikes but not resulting in an agreement giving public servants the right to predominantly work from home.
Union leaders argue that requiring members to show up at the workplace at least three days a week creates challenges like finding workspaces or equipment, with the addition of another day exacerbating these issues.
