NLRB accuses Grindr of using a return-to-office mandate to upend a unionization drive


The NLRB claims that Grindr violated federal labor law by attempting to thwart unionization efforts with a return-to-office mandate.

According to Bloomberg, the agency alleges that a return-to-office (RTO) mandate that limited remote work and effectively meant a relocation requirement for many workers was an attempt to fend off a unionization drive. Per Bloomberg, the agency additionally claims the company refused to recognize the union or to negotiate with it in good faith, which would also be a violation of labor law. As CNN noted, many of the workers who had been hired remotely were suddenly required to report to a Grindr office in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco or Washington DC.
