Question:
ETHICS: As the manager of BigBox Store, you are afraid that, if your workers unionize, you will not be able to compete against stores with a non-union workforce. You would very much like to fire Geraldo, the employee who is leading the unionization effort. Of course, you know this action would be a violation of the NLRA. But you also know that, if you were found to have violated the law (after years of litigation), you would simply be required to reinstate Geraldo, pay him some back wages, and post a notice promising never do it again. (After all that time, Geraldo probably would not even want his BigBox job back.) In the meantime, all the other employees would be so scared, they would not support the union. This strategy is the most cost effective, but is it the right thing to do? What would Mill and Kant say?
