The CoverAll Carpet Company (not a real firm) recently posted job vacancy notices in the local paper for five high-paying skilled jobs. The employment law in this state requires that all applicants be hired on the basis of their demonstrated productivity for the firm that hires them. Ten unemployed members of the community appear on the day of the job interviews. All of them have the demonstrated ability to do the work CoverAll will expect from anyone it hires for this job. Three of them are recent additions to the community. They left their homes in California after a mudslide destroyed everything they had. Two of the job applicants are relatives of existing employees of Coverall. One applicant needs the job because her daughter was just diagnosed with leukemia.

Question: The CEO of CoverAll knows your father. He has heard from your father that you are taking a course that discusses business ethics. He invites you over for lunch and asks what you advise.
