Can someone help me out??? Please??

Answer 1

John Rowan's three basic employee rights are:

a. Right to freedom includes freedom from being restrained physically, which is violated when employees are held back at work against their wish.

b. Right to well-being includes recognizing and valuing human dignity, which is not the usual situation at work when he/she as an employee is not contributing to his/her wellbeing and is much concerned about the employer's well-being. Their life goals or goals of well-being are never fulfilled in the workplace. The employees and the employer are both focused on the employer's well-being.

c. Right to equal treatment or equality at the workplace is one of the three basic employee rights, which hardly happens in any workplace. Gender inequality is the most noticeable form of inequality in the workplace. All employees have the right to equal treatment without any consideration of age, gender, etc.

Rowan's basic rights stem directly from the more fundamental notion of personhood. Every employee is a person with all human rights and an employee second. Here human rights, the more fundamental notion of personhood, from which arises the employee rights should be respected and followed. I believe in the idea of basic human rights for all, which is beneficial for both employees and employers in the long run, but is not followed by the majority of employers. When business and profit-making comes first, basic human rights are quite insignificant and anything other than profit hardly matters. It can be seen that values often get devalued from the profit-making perspective, which will be harmful and destructive for the employers also.
