However, if everyone employed by someone other than your employer is having that activity paid for resulting in your cohort is being singled out for denial, then your employer is imposing its rules on you.
I disagree. You can argue its discrimination, unfair treatment, or whatever, but the employer still isn't imposing itself on you.
If everyone else but you and your office mates got a free Ferrari because your employer found driving such needlessly fast cars wrong, I can't believe that you would not object.
I might. While I'm not a very envious person, I'm not totally immune either. But I wouldn't have grounds to claim it was an injustice against me, unless perhaps I had been promised equal conditions and compensation. And "imposing rules" would be even further from the truth than "an injustice". (If it was an injustice it would be that of withholding something from me, not imposing something on me, and since I don't have a contractual, positive natural, or even probably customary or legal, right to thing I can't call withholding an injustice).
If however I had a Ferrari, and the employer said I have to sell it or can't drive it anymore, then it might be considered imposing rules on me, of course the imposition would be part of a voluntary relationship, not real force.
