Managing in an Equitable and Ethical Way

Managing in an Equitable and Ethical Way [MO2.1 and MO2.2]

Critically assess the events reported in the New York Times article titled, “A Somali Influx Unsettles Latino Meatpackers.” Compose a report of 1050 to 1200 words evaluating the stress among Muslim and non-Muslim workers as management tried to effectively handle the issues of religious expression. Based on your findings, document where and how management’s actions went wrong, exacerbating workers to the point of hostility. Also, explain what management should have done to prevent this resentful organizational culture and the culminating violence. Support your position with credible academic sources properly cited in APA format.

Scenario 

Kate participates in a religion that meets on Saturday mornings. Kate’s religion is very important to her and she has not missed a service in four years. She gets a job at Martin’s Market, indicating on her application that she is unable to work on Saturdays because of religious beliefs, but indicates that she will work any other day and time. Kate’s manager schedules her to work on Saturdays and Kate asks to be changed to a different shift. The manager refuses. Kate states that she will not be at work on Saturday because of her religious beliefs. The manager states that if she does not show up, he will fire her.  Kate does not report to work and she is terminated. Could Kate meet the tests above?

Scenario A

Bob, an officer at a large university, is hiring faculty.  Because of retirements, he has six positions to fill.  Bob meets with his HR Representative and tells her that, because of the University’s Affirmative Action plan, he wants to hire all international candidates for the positions because he thinks they work harder than American faculty do.  If Bob’s HR Representative agrees with this plan, are any employment laws being broken?  Could candidates not hired meet the tests above?

Read the story and address the questions above related to making a prima facie case.  And then go one step further 🙂

If you believe the employee could make a prima facie case, what do you believe would be the best defense (the organization’s reason for denying the employee’s request)?
