Practice question
A company ends every meeting invitation and blocks access to workers’ representatives for telecommuters solely because they are offsite. It says the fair-treatment rule requires no effort to connect them with colleagues. Which corrective approach best follows section 8?
- Preserve the blanket exclusions because remote workers have no workplace community
- Retain collective communication rights and take reasonably possible measures for regular colleague contact, physically or through telecommunications, with access to premises and information when practicable
- Require unrestricted physical entry to every company area at any time
- Treat one annual public advertisement as a substitute for every collective right
- Require the employees to abandon telecommuting before they may communicate with anyone
