Answer the question in Business Case Problem 20-3,21-6 of the text. After you have written your answer based on your readings in the text, you may look up the actual case and add any insights you gained from the sample answer at the end of your assignment. Post your answers to all the problems together in one document.

work with one other student on the assignments. Be sure to work together on all parts of the assignment and the assignment normally should be about a full page in length for each case or question. If you each have a different perspective on a question and can’t agree on the strongest argument then each of you can insert your rationale on the problem and include why you differ from each other. Actually that itself can be a great higher level critical thinking exercise!

Purpose of Assignment

Employment costs are arguably a business’s biggest expense. Consider how employment law regulates concepts such as discrimination, injuries on the job, employee vs. independent contractor, wrongful discharge, and unionization, to name a few. As you research for this assignment, consider the decisions made in this area are much more than business decisions but, in fact, impact lives. How do we reconcile between hurting employees and impacting the bottom-line? This is much tougher than it appears.
