The increased flexibility to work remotely has been liberating in many ways for workers however it also poses challenges when it comes to organizing.

I’ve found that the primary means of communication between remote workers is owned by the company, for example slack and teams. This leads to a reluctance to discuss unionization due to the perceived threat of the company eavesdropping and taking action against them.

There are also less opportunities for the kinds of informal conversations that lead to solidarity and organizing that would usually happen over lunch or after work at the bar or pub.

What challenges have you faced in organising remote workers and what solutions have you found?
