Now if they respond that they need OP 5 days a week then they've established his worth to the organization and he has another way to push back.
That could be a commission rate increase of 5% instead of just 2.
The basic mindset OP should have is, if my compensation is being reduced then "I am investing in the company, what is the benefit / reward to me for doing that?
Never take this stuff lying down.

Nailed it. I know a lot of HR folks and owners that would serious reflect on that.
