Description

If you were in Mark Jen's shoes, would you have complied with Google's requests to first unpublish and then edit your blog posts? Explain why or why not. Without providing clear, official guidelines for blogging and banned content, why would someone think that it was fair of Google to expect Jen to censor himself?

If I were in Mark Jen’s, I would not have complied with Google’s request to unpublish and then edit my blog posts because it is not part of their policy. If all the information, I was stating can be found on the internet and was not anything confidential, I should have the freedom to write what I want. Moreover, it seems that Mark had taken all necessary precautions to ensure he was not breaking any rules and following company policy.

Some have said that Saturn would have been better able to respond to the changes in the automobile market if there had been more cooperation and greater compromise between the management, union leaders, and workers. What reason do we have to believe that this is true? Explain whether the failure of the company can be attributed to problems with Saturn's original vision for worker participation, a lack of commitment to the ideals of workplace democracy at Saturn, or something else. Saturn would have been better able to respond to the changes in the automobile market if there had been more cooperation and greater compromise between the management, union leaders and workers, since individuals would be like-minded and have similar goals. I believe the failure of the company can be attributed to the lack of commitment of the ideals of workplace since those individuals would be the ones to make sure that the company had succeeded.

Given Walmart's struggle to provide its employees with more affordable health insurance coverage, as well as the overall costs associated with coverage, some concluded that Walmart fulfilled its obligation as one of the largest U.S. employers. Develop a case for and against this conclusion. In this case study it is highly visible to what length Walmart has struggled to provide employees with affordable health insurance and other associate coverage. Although, some may defend Walmart, stating the obligation has been fulfilled, there is not enough evidence to abide this statement. For one, the cost of insurance is of a high cost therefore resulting in numerous not choosing to apply as they could not afford. Walmart should be taking all measures to ensure their employees are protected at all costs.

Explain whether or not "business necessity" could possibly justify Burlington Northern's genetic testing of its railroad workers without their consent. Suppose the company had been open about the testing and obtained permission from its employees first. Try to defend the position that a greater susceptibility to a work-related illness or injury is a good reason for denying someone employment. In my opinion, I do not believe that “business necessity could justify Burlington Nothern’s genetic testing of its railroad workers without their contest since it was still wrong. Had the company been open about

testing and obtained permission from its employees first and notified them, there would not have been a problem. However, by lying and being dishonest to employees seems immoral and unethical.

Many observers of the Johnson Controls case doubted whether the fetal protection policy was truly intended to protect the health of its female employees and their children. What are some reasons to support this doubt? What grounds were there for excluding female employees from the health risks posed by lead? I believe that Johnson Controls fetal protection policy was not truly intended to protect the health of its female employees and their children but rather to protect the company from any further lawsuits. They give employees the option of quitting but many were not able to make that choice because they needed the money to survive. Where did the problem with the safety of the crib begin—with its design by an unqualified employee, the product design itself, or at a later point in the product's development? Explain whether or not it is morally right to hold Hasbro, in addition to Kolcraft, responsible for the deaths that followed. The problem with the safety of the crib had originally begun with the amount of the product design itself. I believe the product could have gone through more testing in order to ensure it was safe to use. I think it is morally right to Hasbro and Kolcraft responsible to the deaths that had occurred....
