An Ethical Dilemma Mary Adkins was about to land the biggest order of her life. A new hotel with over 5000 rooms and 500 employees was going to open in her territory and she had the best proposal to supply the hotel with uniforms. In fact, she had a handshake and would sit down in a couple of days with Allison Coleman, the hotel buyer, to sign all the papers. Mary knew there could be a problem down the road as one of her unions was negotiating a contract that was about to expire. The last time this contract came up there was a strike and orders were backlogged for weeks. The hotel has many customized uniforms and has to have these for their grand opening in three months. What is Mary's obligation to the hotel knowing this information? How would you handle this situation? a) Do nothing and hope the union does not go on strike. b) Immediately discuss the dilemma with Allison Coleman and hope Allison is willing to ride it out. c) Wait awhile and see how the union negotiation progresses before bringing it up with Coleman?
