Employee and non-employee representatives of employee organizations may access employee work areas, subject to reasonable employer regulation. Any such regulation must be both necessary to the employer’s efficient operations or safety of employees or others, and narrowly drawn to avoid overbroad, unnecessary interference with the exercise of statutory rights. Moreover, an employer’s otherwise lawful access restrictions may nevertheless interfere with protected rights when applied discriminatorily against unions or protected activity. (p. 3.)
