All employees are expected to comply strictly with these rules. Employees who are in doubt concerning the application of these rules should consult with their supervisor. Employees are prohibited from soliciting or promoting support for any cause or organization during their working time or during the working time of the employee or employees at whom such activity is directed. Employees are prohibited from distributing or circulating any written or printed material in work areas at any time, or during their working time or during the working time of the employee or employees at whom such activity is directed.
