Think about how rights function in the workplace and your own career experience. Before posting, consider that many, if not most, rights have a trade-off. When you say yes to one group to have a right, you are often saying no to another. For example, if you say people should not wear religious clothing to work so as to prevent awkward situations, you are harming people who are deeply religious and giving preference to people who are not. If you say a private country club cannot exclude women, you are harming fraternal relationships. (This is an exceptional example for you to explore because it was a crucial problem for women to break past the glass ceiling. Definitely worth exploring more deeply to see how there are underlying issues that are not always easy to see at first glance.) After reading the assigned materials, consider the following questions in constructing your posts: How are rights respected in the workplace? What rights should be protected in the workplace and what rights should not? Why? How do you, as a future supervisor, protect the rights of employees? What rights would you want to offer (if any) above and beyond what the company does? Why? What are the costs? Be mindful that your experience may not be the same as the experiences of your classmates. Discuss together constructively to improve your understanding of rights that we should or should not have.
