| Abstract: | This paper proposes that legitimacy is a scarce intangible resource that is always contested. As a socially defined resource, legitimacy (henceforth as: leg-y.) represents relational power within a community. This paper looks at the issue of healthcare-related employment benefits, noting that organizations deny such benefits in communities containing strong labour movements (as: s-l-mvts.), substituting less expensive corporate philanthropic practices to demonstrate commitment to the social contract and norms of leg-y. while simultaneously denying the leg-y. of organized labour's agenda. However, in communities without s-l-mvts., corporations are less encumbered in providing healthcare benefits etc. |
