<prompt> Human: As hourly employees, management wants us all to read a couple chapters from a self help book weekly on our own time and unpaid, then meet once a week while at work to discuss. I have started to raise some hell about this but I dont want to push my luck. Can they legally make me read something they choose on my own time and unpaid? Again, im not salary.Edit: Im not sure what the book is as we havent started yet.  <response>: No they technically cant. But when you show up to the team meeting unprepared to discuss the topics that were told to you would be discussed ahead of time, they can sure as shit fire your ass for it.
