        Just require employers to pay for 60 minutes of travel time a day every time employees have to go to the office no matter where the employee lives and you’ll see they’ll start sweating.

          I would almost* like to see that litigated again. Last time the argument was “people have had to travel to their workplace before starting since time immemorial, so no change now”

          But now that for many jobs the work location is arbitrary that argument wont be so easy.

          *“Almost” since the money would still be on the other side

            I wish we didn’t need these things to go to court for them to change, but it would require an extremely progressive government in power for that to happen in any country…

                That’s what I meant, why should we need to go to court to get that right recognized when it should be the government changing the law without court intervention?
