A company decided to pass a policy banning cell phones on their property. A group of employees collected signatures to protest. Many of the co-workers who signed the petition were later fired because the petition was deemed disruptive.

The employees sued the company, claiming their employer violated their constitutional rights. What is the likely outcome of this lawsuit?

The employees will win because the Constitution prevents private companies from taking workers' phones.
The employees will win because the Constitution guarantees the right to speak freely on a cell phone at work.
The company will win because the employees are guilty of slander.
The company will win because it is a private business and speech can have consequences in private places.
