They're the employer so they can pretty much dictate your terms of employment.

Should they NOT be able to do so? Their business, their money. < /Devil's advocate >

Oh, no doubt the should be able to set the terms of employment for what you do on the clock. But, I suppose their rules covering 24/7/365 may make one consider employment someplace else. Like a place that only cares how well you do your job. Then again they might push any medical coverage to one of the wonderful obiecare plans. ;>}

Not public employers.
