Abstract
This paper is a critical review of Ian Maitland's "Rights in the Workplace: A Nozickian Argument" Joseph DesJardins and John McCall, eds. Contemporary Issues in Business Ethics. Toronto: Wadsworth, 2000, 119-123., This paper reviews the validity of the article, claiming that Maitland argues that defining workers' rights in the labor market actually represents a violation of their right to freely choose the conditions of their own employment. While this may seem to be a paradox, this essay will argue that the underlying assumption of Maitland's thesis is that the marketplace is both competitive and functional. Ironically, this is also the underlying weakness that undermines Maitland's thesis.

Abstract
The author states that, in the United States, the evolution of labor law has reflected a greater concern for the well being of the employee. Many labor laws such as the Equal Pay Act of 1963, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and American with Disabilities Act (ADA) are presented. The paper concludes that the recognition of the fundamental rights of workers has lead to a safer and more employee friendly work environment.
From the Paper
"The Equal Pay Act of 1963 requires employers to provide equal pay for equal work regardless of sex. This act has become more and more important along the years since its implementation because in today?s market woman are working and providing for families along with men. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits the discrimination of employees on the basis of race, sex, color, religion, or national origin."

Abstract
The paper relates that, while employers certainly have the right to expect an honest day's work of their employees, employees should have the right to have a certain amount of privacy on the job; most Americans assume that they have a constitutionally guaranteed right to privacy: This is not the case. The author points out that, while monitoring phone calls may be one of the oldest ways in which employers infringe on workplace privacy, by far the most prolific is through the computer terminal even with software, which allows employers to monitor the keystrokes of their employees or the amount of time the computer terminal is idle. The paper stresses that most employees are unaware it is happening because of the clandestine way in which employers have imposed many of their monitoring techniques.
From the Paper
"It is also important for employees to keep in mind that their work-related e-mail is not private. As with the computer terminal itself, because the employer owns the e-mail system, they have every legal right to review the contents of all e-mails sent across it. This includes incoming and outgoing e-mail. Furthermore, this e-mail monitoring does not stop with work-based e-mail accounts. Employers may also have access to private web-based e-mail accounts and instant message communications used by the employee from the work terminal such as accounts through Yahoo and Hotmail. No employee should assume that simply because the account is not owned by the employer, that they do not have a legal right to pour over personal e-mails and instant messages. As deplorable as it is, several lawsuits regarding this very issue have been decided in the employer's favor, including cases against Nissan, Pillsbury, and Epson."

From the Paper

McCall's book "Contemporary Issues in Business Ethics" integrates the philosophy of management, economics, public policy, and law when focusing on ethical reasoning and critical analysis. In their book, Des Jardins and McCall analyze various approaches to business ethics from a socio-political perspective. The authors challenge readers to contemplate how society views business in terms of the struggle between individual and organizational rights. "

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses whether homosexuals should receive rights guaranteed in the Bill of Rights. The writer questions whether gays should receive rights compared to civil rights. The writer argues that while it is true that gays and minorities are often mistreated, the difference is in the ability to make a decision. The writer maintains that gay rights are different than civil rights because homosexuals make the decision to be gays and even the Bible shows that it is wrong, but African-Americans are born "black" and the Bill of Rights guarantee rights to "all men". The writer then points out that the Civil Rights Act was passed to guarantee that all African-Americans be treated equally with other Americans. The writer argues that comparing gay rights with civil rights shows that gays make a decision to date or love another person of the same sex, while African-Americans are born with their skin color and they should be given the same rights as any American.
From the Paper
"Before determining whether gays should have rights it is important to look at the definition of homosexuals. The definition of homosexuals will show that it is defined as a sexual orientation with romantic love and sexual desire of the same sex or gender. When a person falls in love with another person, a decision must be made to love the person. Homosexuality is a decision. The gay person decides to fall in love with another person of his or her same gender. This is the same as if a person decides to never date a person or if a person decides to fall in love with another person of a difference sex. Since it is a decision, people should not receive certain rights because they make a decision. Many homosexuals and minorities are rejected jobs and other freedoms so many people believe they should have rights as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. However, it is important to remember that homosexuals decide whether they want to have a love life with a member of the same sex."

From the Paper
"This research paper discusses the nature and course of the movements for civil rights and women's rights in the United States during the 1860s and draws appropriate comparisons and contrasts between them.
The principal struggle for civil rights related to improving the political, legal and, to a lesser extent, the economic status of blacks in the South, their emancipation from slavery and succor by the North during the Civil War (1860-1865) and their achievement of suffrage and other rights during the initial phases of Reconstruction (1865-1870). Emancipation only gradually became a central goal of Union policy during the war and its full parameters were far from settled by the time President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Reconstruction policy followed an even..."

Employees? Private Lives and Employers? Rights, 2004.
A discussion about whether employers should have the right to look into their employees? private lives.
2,014 words (approx. 8.1 pages), 4 sources, MLA, AU$ 102.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper shows that, while employers have some very valid reasons for checking into the backgrounds and private lives of employees, there is a point where employers just get nosy. It is these kinds of inquisitions that most people object to. This paper hypothesizes that most employees or prospective employees will not object to having basic information about them checked out, but employers that actively spy on their employees during their off hours go too far.
From the Paper
"It was with this concern in mind that many employers began to take more of an interest in their employees? private lives. It was not so much an interest in them as people, but rather an interest in whether they were going to cause problems for the company at some later date because they had some habit or hang-up that many people would find morally objectionable. The interest in what employees did during their time away from the company became a subject of concern simply because employers became worried about getting into problems by being associated with a certain kind of person."

From the Paper
"In the Age of Information, there are increasing concerns being voiced about what can legitimately be expected to be kept private, and how these issues affect employees' rights in the workplace. According to Hayden, Hendricks and Novak (1990, most adults spend approximately one-half of their waking hours in the workplace today, and it is therefore not surprising that employment practices affect a broad range of privacy rights. With the sole exception of polygraph ("lie-detector") testing, there are not many areas of workplace activities that are addressed by the U.S. Constitution or national privacy laws. As a result, employers in the United States have a great deal of flexibility in collecting data on their employees, regulating their access to personnel files, and disclosing the contents of employee files to those outside the organization. Besides the issue of personnel files, workplace privacy involves such practices as polygraph testing, drug testing, computer and telephone monitoring, and interference with personal lifestyle (Hayden et al., 1990)."

Abstract
This paper analyzes business ethics in a global marketplace by comparing the practices of various companies. The writer discusses the claim that a new social conscience has dawned, an informed public demands that all of its concerns ? ethical as well as economic ? be met.
From the Paper
"The good faith of the public is an often-underrated factor in corporate success. Take the case of Sears Roebuck. Not wishing to go the way of Kmart and other corporate giants who have recently found themselves in Chapter 11, the management of Sears has implemented a program that is dedicated to attaining the highest possible level of corporate ethics. As with any successful ethics plan, the Sears plan starts at home. Happy employees are as essential to a successful business as satisfied customers. A contented workforce projects a positive corporate image. Upbeat employee attitudes are carried over into their dealings with the public. They provide better service, are more considerate and attentive, and more responsive to their clients? needs. A well-served customer is a loyal customer, returning to the same company time and time again."

»

Abstract
This paper examines how, in order to maintain balance in every process and to develop eligibility, a company needs solid regulations to cover management and employee needs. It looks at such issues as employee motivation and provides a listing of qualities of regulations that facilitate the employees as well as their managers. Examples given include easy-to-understand job descriptions and guidance on how employees can maximize their performance and potentials for employees and for the managers such qualities as the simplification of management responsibility to define goals for each division and subdivision and each individual worker. It evaluates how overall integration is the only answer to create balanced performance of regulations, so the regulations will play fair and protect the rights from both parties. Company should state clearly to employees what they expect and the standard performance and employees can also provide feedback as well to ensure their needs and complaints are fulfilled.
From the Paper
"Although managers mostly are related with planning and periodical-achievement-estimation function in the company resource profile, basically they have similar functions as other employees, unless they are the same personnel. Managers do not only set targets for achievement but also encourage all staffs to fully participate following their qualities and regulations. They need to think about the best way to demand high quality performance and timely fashion. The audacious task takes more than other duties, since not all employees simply follow guidelines from the company, or get motivated with the regulations. Managers need to educate them to understand that both managers and company have the same goals, and it is not the owner?s goals only. Also, employees need to understand why they are required to work hard, improve their skills, or join arduous trainings to escalate their level."
