The federal government has announced that come September, employees are expected to work in the office 3 days a week. The union representing federal employees has announced plans to fight this mandate, citing various problems with the announcement including the lack of warning given to employees. Do private sector employees have the right to remote work? Can employers terminate employees who refuse these requests?
