Introduction
Content

For an untold number of years until recent times, there was the
prevailing view that business merely the means by which goods
are produced and services rendered to people for their personal
satisfaction, the purpose of which is to make profits for the owner
and nothing else. From this point of view, business is inherently
selfish in its aims and objectives.

It was also believed that business is devoid of any social


responsibility whatsoever and such it can insulate itself from the
environment in which it operates.

Is there a Right to Strike?
The right to strike is integral to the process of wage bargaining in an
industrial economy. Everyone believes that a quality work rendered by an
individual in an industry deserves improvements in salaries and benefits. A
worker has no other means of defending his real wage other than seeking an
increased money wage. If a capitalist does not grant such increase, he can
forced to come to a negotiating table by striking workers. Any employee has a
right to withhold his labour services from an employer if he does not like the
pay and benefits the employer offers. If each individual has this right then a
group of like-minded individuals can exercise this right together. In other
word, all individuals may withhold their labour services at the same time.
In the book of Ramon Agapay,” Ethics and the
Content
Filipino”(p. 153), the following conditions must be present
for a strike to be moral:
1. There is a sufficient and just reason for it; it is usually based on the claim that
the labourer has a right to his job, or that he has at least the right to decent
conditions of employment, and consequently that he may use force protect
this right against the unjust aggression of the man who has seized it.

2. The intended good results must be proportionate to the evil effects; as


against the employer, the striker have no right to destroy his property; as
against the men who take the places of the striker, no violence is lawful when
the action of the strikers is justified by their own needs.

3. The means employed are lawful. At most, the right to a job is merely
the right to continue economic relations with a particular employer. It is,
consequently, similar to the right of a merchant to the patronage of his
costumers, or the right of any man to pursue a lawful good by lawful
means.
•WHISTLE- BLOWING Content

- is the disclosure by an employee of confidential


information which relates to some danger, fraud, or other
illegal or unethical conduct connected with the workplace, be
it of the employer or of his fellow employees. A whistle-
blower is someone in an organization who witnesses
behaviour by members that is either contrary to the mission
of the organization, or threatening to the public interest, and
who decides to speak out publicly about it.
Four elements encompass whistle-blowing:
Content

1. The disclosure of information, be it internal or external, must be


made in good faith;

2. The disclosure must be made by a current, former or prospective


employee;

3. The information must be linked with misconduct on the part of the


employer; and

4. Evidence of the misconduct should exist as well as information


regarding the identity of the wrongdoer.

Due to lack of support from management
