It is also true that the proviso in § 31-51q, namely, that the employee’s conduct “does not substantially or materially interfere with the employee’s bona fide job *30performance or the working relationship between the employee and the employer,” can be seen as suggesting activity of the employee that might take place at the worksite. That possible inference does not, however, compel a conclusion that the statute was intended to reach such activity. In other words, that language also can be read to refer to nonworksite speech and, therefore, would be consistent with the conclusion, suggested more strongly by the core of the statute, that the statute does not reach private workplace activity.
