In the mid 90's my union negotiated a telecommuting agreement with the government and one of the things in it was that they were supposed to provide pagers so the managers could get in touch with the workers if need be.
A few weeks later the management side sheepishly called back and told us that they could not get the funding for the pagers and did we want to re-open negotiations? After a hurried conference we called back and told them to "forget it, we'll just drop the provision." They were suspicious because generally the labor-management relationship resembled a cross between a minefield and a toxic waste dump but they couldn't look a gift horse in the mouth.
What they did not know was that many of the impacted employees had told us that the last thing they wanted was for their idiot managers to be able to bother them after they had left the office. "They can stick their fucking beepers up their ass" was one of the general comments.
