Looks like it's a good time for Uber employees to start discussing unionization.

Ironically an HR department is detrimental to unionization efforts

What do you mean "Ironically"?

The department that wants to stop the creation of union would itself benefit from being in a union?

> The report also said that Human Resources employees at Uber, who had previously been cleared to work from home, are being asked to return to the office to comply with a three-day-a-week rule that took effect last June.

I feel this is direction much tech companies will take.

That is just soft firing, those choosing to not return to office will be among the 23%. That has been a normal tactic for years now.
