Company launches book club to read a book on trust in the work place but off the clock.

Can’t make this up, folks! My company passed out copies of the “Speed of Trust” to everyone and then sent out an email that it’s part of a new book club and while the meetings are during work hours the email explicitly said we couldn’t read during work but encouraged reading during breaks and lunch. I addressed with with upper management that this could be a Fair Labor Standards Act violation for our non exempt employees and was disregarded for it, they simply said it’s voluntary so it’s fine. Maybe the next book in book club should be the FSLA?
