The employee backlash over JPMorgan Chase’s 5-day-a-week return to work mandate is gaining momentum. Several workers have reached out to the Communications Workers of America about forming a union shortly after the country’s biggest bank increased its in-office policy from three to five days a week.
"I’m really against the full RTO out of empathy for a lot of colleagues whose personal lives will be upended. A lot of us have arranged our lives and [made] huge life decisions around being able to be remote a couple days a week or 40% of the time,” said a JP Morgan employee from a city in the Southwest who, like others cited in this story, asked not to be named for fear of losing their job.
