Work is one of the most important and highly valued human activities. In chapter Six students examine a range of potential employee rights in the work place. Various understandings of the right to work are explored with particular attention paid to arguments for and against union membership and to the issue of whether or not private employers and government have an obligation to provide a job to every person. The doctrine of employment at will is explained and the erosion of that doctrine by federal and state legislation and union contracts is discussed. The proper understanding of what due process in the workplace entails is presented as well as the arguments for the process and challenges to it. Finally, the meaning, extent, and limits of employee rights to a healthy and safe workplace and to privacy in the workplace are developed in detail.
