Workers should not have to absorb the increased cost of commuting if they can work from home, the finance sector union says, as fuel prices start to bite.

Finance workers should not be forced back into the office because commuting costs and escalating fuel prices will increase cost of living pressures, according to a new union report.

Commuting costs surpassed workers’ concerns over catching COVID-19 physical and mental health and disruption of family and caring responsibilities if they had to return to the office. FSU national secretary Julia Angrisano said workers were “telling us that the option to work from home is very important to them”.

One worker said they could now use their commute time to go to the gym or walk while another said their depression and anxiety had significantly reduced and their key performance indicators had “improved massively”.
