Northern Virginia Community Employment Rights Discussion

the issue of employment rights, including the Employment at Will (EAW) doctrine, and rights to due process and advance notice in cases of plant closure or layoffs.

Please provide a response to the following questions.

1) Do think workers are morally or ethically entitled to employment rights? Why or why not? Discuss some specific employment rights and explain.

2) Do you find Radin’s & Werhane’s argument for employment rights, or Maitland’s argument against employment rights, more persuasive? Why? Which argument (or arguments) in particular do you find the most convincing?

3) Consider the case study “Employee Relations at EDS” (p. 210-202 in textbook). What does your view on employment rights suggest is the ethically correct thing for the company to do in this case? Provide an analysis in light of the facts of the case.
