Case Application 3: TEAM FUN!
Tony, the new director of human resources, and Edna, the compensation and benefits manager, are hanging employment legislation posters in RETREAT, the TEAM FUN! employee cafeteria. Edna offers, “I remember some woman who applied for a job to advertise men’s baseball gear and sued when she didn’t get the job. The EEOC said she had no case. A couple of years ago, we moved Fred from fitness demos to stock management because he couldn’t do the treadmill or lift the big weights anymore. There was talk about an age discrimination case because he was 57, but that never went anywhere.” Tony asks, “Do you realize that all of the warehouse workers are male and all the RETREAT workers are female?” Edna replies, “What’s your point?” Tony waves his hand at the EEOC information they have displayed. Edna shrugs, “This is the best job I ever had. If you ask anyone else who works here, they will say the same thing.”
Questions:
1. What is the probable defense for the baseball gear job (BFOQ, 4/5ths rule, glass ceiling)? Explain.
2. Why didn’t Fred’s age discrimination case go anywhere?
3. Is TEAM FUN! open to discrimination charges in other areas?
4. What should be done to protect TEAM FUN! from discrimination charges?

Explore and examine the following business fact scenario using each of the three normative ethical approaches (Kantianism, utilitarianism, Native American peacemaking) and ALL the relevant information we studied this semester:
You’re a manager at a non-profit business. One of the people you supervise has been a fundraiser there for five years. Four years ago, their performance was poor because they had been diagnosed with cancer and were undergoing chemotherapy. Since then their performance has improved to average but in the past few months has declined severely again—They’ve raised only half as much money as before. They explain to you that their cancer has recurred and has spread to their lymph nodes, so they’re in the middle of a six-month round of chemotherapy and they’re prognosis is not good. They tell you they prefer to keep working but if you terminate them they won’t file a claim under the Americans with Disabilities Act. They are their family's sole source of income and their nonprofit salary is modest, so they have little in savings. They’re just barely making ends meet. What would be the "ethical" thing for you to do?
Share your IN-DEPTH, DETAILED understanding of what the “ethical” thing to do would be using each of the normative ethical approaches we studied (Kantianism, utilitarianism, Native American peacemaking). Identify and apply the focus, considerations, and processes of each approach to the facts. Express in a specific and detailed step-by-step fashion how you applied each normative ethical approach and what that application revealed (remember, don’t presume an outcome and work backward to support the presumption, instead, apply each approach to the facts to discover what the approach reveals).
