It's particularly an awful request to pair with remote work.

"I should be able to work anywhere so long as it doesn't affect my performance..."

I don't see the link. Does working in office means you're allowed to do a crappy job?


I mean, in the context of most union agreements with a similar provision, kinda.

Your union might protect you from termination on an assembly line, and at least they can move you around the facility or bring in extra workers. Or for a teacher they bring in more supervision and resources.

In contexts where unions have similar provisions, direct supervision is implied.
