## Resource

Ontario’s government cracks down on rigid office mandates by allowing public workers to work remotely during World Cup matches in Toronto — a tiny concession amid fierce union pushback and a city bracing for 300,000 visitors. Despite the “five days in-office” rule still standing, managers can approve temporary remote work for key events like June 12 and 26. Unions had demanded full remote flexibility from June 8 to July 3, sparking backlash after the government’s August “back to office by 2026” decree was seen as unyielding. Thousands have since requested flexible arrangements — mostly denied — leaving this World Cup exception as a test case for future workplace flexibility.
