Quality

Legality of work materials requiring citizenship

Time zone coordination

Industries not present in India (say, aeronautics? Chip manufacturing? Take your pick.)

Residency requirements

Classified/cleared materials

Other federally regulated materials

Is that enough? We can keep going.

Of course every office worker should be overtime eligible. That they aren't is unjust—and so is the fact that many essential and/or blue-collar workers are denied the benefit of remote work.

You saying remote work isn't a fringe benefit doesn't make that true. Not sure if you've changed jobs in the last few years but it's absolutely treated as one by recruiters. In the story we're both responding to, labor organizers, leaders, and activists also recognize it as one.

The idea that unionized blue collar workers should just switch jobs if they're unhappy with their working conditions is elitist and anti-worker, you sound like the "learn to code!" people we all hate.

Subcontracting the subcontracts held by a subcontractor delegated by another subcontract that was initially filed with a contractor.

It's kinda insane when you look at the amount of subcontracting that occurs for a single project.
