| Abstract: | Thesis: The exclusion of organized labor/management issues from the principal arenas for business ethics study and discussions needs to be remedied. The paper develops this thesis in three steps. 1) Exclusion: A careful examination select textbooks, journals, and conferences provides evidence as to the virtual absence of unions and such crucial organized labor/management issues as labor organizing and collective bargaining; 2) Inclusion: A series of brief arguments favoring inclusion of these issues in business ethics based on the notion of privileged institutions, adversarial posturing, the societal benefits, and globalization; 3) Suggestion: Some practical, cooperative initiatives involving the academy, management and labor, fora for joint management/labor discussions of issues each group faces in the economy and the legislatures. |
