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.

It will probably be better to search based on what your position and industry are. I’m fairly certain there isn’t any kind of blanket union that covers remote employees in general. If you’re an office worker, the OPEIU might be a good place to start.

I tried reaching out to them a couple weeks ago but they were less than helpful unfortunately, this was their response:

I’m sorry that at this time we aren’t able to assist you.

I find it strange to get such a response.
"We'll look into it" would be more sensible...
