Abstract

Numerous labor-management issues possess ethical dimensions and pose ethical questions. In this article, the authors discuss four labor-management issues that present important contemporary problems: union organizing, labor-management negotiations, employee involvement programs, and union obligations of fair representation. In the authors view, labor and management too often view their ethical obligations as beginning and ending at the law's boundaries. Contemporary business realities suggest that cooperative and enlightened modes of interaction between labor and management seem appropriate.

Journal Information

The Journal of Business Ethics publishes original articles from a wide variety of methodological and disciplinary perspectives concerning ethical issues related to business. Since its initiation in 1980, the editors have encouraged the broadest possible scope. The term 'business' is understood in a wide sense to include all systems involved in the exchange of goods and services, while 'ethics' is circumscribed as all human action aimed at securing a good life. Systems of production, consumption, marketing, advertising, social and economic accounting, labour relations, public relations and organisational behaviour are analysed from a moral viewpoint. The style and level of dialogue involve all who are interested in business ethics – the business community, universities, government agencies and consumer groups. Speculative philosophy as well as reports of empirical research are welcomed. In order to promote a dialogue between the various interested groups as much as possible, papers are presented in a style relatively free of specialist jargon.

Abstract

Of all the tensions spawned by the inter-group conflicts of a free society, none has so great an effect on the whole social order as the labor-management tug-of-war. In this Article the author presents some of the problems created by the concentration of power in unions and suggests that they should be solved not by government intervention, but by the efforts of labor and management. He also indicates some areas where unions seem to lack understanding of the economic considerations which must guide management decisions. Although the rapport necessary to remove these obstacles from the path of industrial peace is still lacking, Mr. Larry finds hope in the general desire of both labor and management for a free society.
