Suggested Answer: D

Answer option D is correct.

Generally, injuries are not work-related if the employee is engaged in a voluntary wellness activity (C), eating food prepared for personal consumption (A), or has the common cold/flu (B). This is important for two reasons: to determine OSHA recordability and to determine compensability under workers' compensation.

D) Featherbedding seems like the correct answer here. Unions can't force employers to pay for work that's no longer needed due to technological changes. Anything else would be unfair to the employer.
