BUS 309 Week 7 Discussion
Week 7 – Workplace Issues
This week we are covering ethical interactions between employers and employees in such areas as hiring, firing, wages, promotion, and participation in unions. Chapter 8 describes various situations such as being fired for displaying political stickers on your personal car, wearing your favorite sports team tie to work, and even for posting a comment to your own personal blog about work. We also cover the topic of “employment at will” which is either employee or employer is free to terminate the employment for just cause.
Your search topic for Week 7 is to find an interesting article on UNETHICAL TREATMENT IN THE WORKPLACE, EDUCATION OR HOUSING AREAS. It could be discrimination based on race, gender, age, or disabilities.
Here is a link to situation in the 1930’s to give you a better idea of what you are looking for. It tells about the Ford Motor Company and the May 26, 1937 “Battle of the Overpass” situation.

The article must have been written within the last three (3) years.
· Post the article link into the discussion area so your classmates can click and read the article
· Include your explanation on how the article relates to the topics covered this week
· Finally, to earn a grade you will need to watch a classmate’s article and post a comment to their explanation as well as include your thoughts on their article.
** Be sure to put your link and comments into the SAME discussion window, please do not post the link in one window and then open a new window for your comment.
Please remember to ask for assistance if you are unclear on the work. It’s important to complete the discussion as we progress through the week as it is sort of a “current” experience since you are commenting on your classmate’s work.
I hope you can have some fun with this style of discussion since you can post situations that of your own interest. I always appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
