↓ Working from home principles ↓
During the first lockdown many GMB members accepted less than perfect homeworking arrangements in a spirit of muddling through and make do and mend.
We now know we are in for a long haul where millions of people will be homeworking in the medium term, and at least until the widespread distribution of an effective vaccine.
In this situation of extended homeworking it becomes an abuse of goodwill by the employer to fail to put in place adequate systems to manage and support homeworking.

We think it’s time to ensure that all employers shoulder their fair share of the cost of homeworking.
Employers need to be reminded that we are doing them a favour by working from home. We are giving them space in our homes to run their business from.
The three areas GMB are concerned about are: Cost, Kit and Welfare.
