The subject is Business Ethics

1. Explain what is meant by employment at will and explain in some detail the extent to which employment in the USA is governed by this doctrine. Explain what is meant by an employee moral right to due process and explain in some detail the sorts of things an employer might do in order to honor a moral right to due process.

2. When it comes to deciding what is an acceptably safe and healthy work environment, one possibility is to reject government regulation and oversight, and simply let ‘the free marketplace decide’, letting individual employers and employees bargain over this. Explain/illustrate what is meant by this proposal. Then explain at least two ethical concerns that could be raised in objection to it. Finally, briefly explain each of the following two approaches to setting the legal requirements on workplace safety and health standards: feasibility analyses and cost-benefit analyses.

3. Explain what is meant by an employee moral right to participation and explain a least three reasons that someone might give in support of the view that employers should recognize an employee moral right to participation. Next, based on the pieces I assigned for 10/14: briefly explain what worker cooperatives are and explain three potential positive characteristics of them. (Note: I assigned three pieces for 10/14, but unfortunately one of the links seems no longer to be working, and I can’t find a replacement for it. If the problem persists, you will only have two pieces to work with - but they will be adequate.)
