In the Industrial Revolution, there was definitely a sense of communal hatred due to the proximity of your coworkers that later led to the 8 hour work week. France has protests weekly because of how their cities are compared to USA's garbage suburb/city/car system. With WFH, what's stopping isolated workers who are pretending they're working all day from being on instagram and liking reactionary memes?

    on the other hand, it can make unionizing even easier if you are able to get a hold of that contact information, and talk to co workers from the comfort of your own home without your bosses hearing.

    You could do that before. WFH just makes everything 10x harder.

        You could just talk to them after the shift. It doesn't make a big difference. I don't even know if shifts are gonna be a thing any more if WFH progresses enough. It may just be "here's a bunch of shit you gotta do until tomorrow, byeeee!".
