Moral Issues In Business
Please help me with what ethics theory (Kant, utilitarian, egoism, Rawl's, libertarian) that you would suggest for these questions
--Downsize in the face of economic difficulty
--Export capital for production abroad
--Export commodities which have been banned from sale in the United States
--Break union contracts in the face of economic difficulty
--Federal law requires that employers pay a minimum wage and pay overtime, although some believe that the concept of a living wage is the more ethical standard. Explain and defend your position on whether you agree or disagree.
--Is it ethically permissible to make membership in a particular union a prerequisite for employment?
--Is it ethical for an employer to require as a condition of employment or use as a consideration for advancement promotion, that an employee participate in organizations apart from the business (ie. community non-profit organizations)? Does the type or nature of the organization make a difference?
--Finally, some opine that employee pay should be tied in part to the compensation of the owner/chief operating or executive officer of the business, with the lowest paid employee being paid no less than a certain percentage of the highest paid employee. Is this an ethical way of determining compensation?
