Abstract
COVID-19 pandemic led Indian organizations to take strategic action related to human capital. What came handy to them to run their businesses with a handful of workers after laying off others whom they wanted otherwise by giving the excuse of the pandemic is “workf rom-home ”. The new work arrangement happened to be unique to the majority workforce in India as there has been no federal labor law in the country that allows empl oyers t o get work done f rom home. However, on a deeper analysis, we cannot dispense with its long term adverse consequences on workplace solidarity. It will cripple this small section of the workforce as employees would seldom be able to meet or have regular workplace meetings, ravaging collectivization, union coverage and union density.
