Bosses: No, it's not.
Workers: Yes, it is.

I see good perspective on each end of this...
Perhaps a compromise would be a set amount per mile from home to work? For example just say like $0.65/mile.
Thoughts?

In the meantime simply steal your commute time back.
(This is a joke)*
I always did
If you need to do something for work that you would not otherwise do it's part of the job and should be compensated. At least that has been my attitude with any company trips or events and going to the office.
Luckily my job is quite relaxed. When I come to office - I don't work at all. I just socialize. 😅
Trust me, coworkers have opinions on this.

I consider my commute part of my work day. If it takes me an hour each way, I'm only in the office for 6 hours. I go home to "finish up the day" but don't really get a lot done other than light emailing.

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.
