Question

Should the collective bargaining rights of public employees be eliminated? Expanded? Why do you say that? (Side note: The NC Constitution prohibits state workers from engaging in collective bargaining activities)

Are right-to-work laws a good idea? Why or why not?

The “historic bargain” that resulted in workers’ compensation laws occurred at a time (the early 1900’s) when there were almost no other employment laws and courts routinely ruled against workers with disabling injuries caused by their employers’ negligence.

Is workers’ compensation a fair bargain now, or does it too often shield employers from the consequences of their negligence? What does privacy mean to you? What do you think is reasonable for employees to expect in terms of privacy in the workplace?

Answer 1

Answering the first question as per Chegg Guidelines:

1. Collective bargaining is a type of negotiation process between the employer and employees which aim at making the working conditions of the employees better. In my views, collective bargaining is a right of employees and saves them from any kind of exploitation at the hands of the employers. In my views, the proposal to eliminate the collective bargaining rights of public employees is not ethical as well as valid. A government body is usually the employer of public employees. In absence of collective bargaining rights, it can become quite difficult for the employees to stand for their rights and demand amenities for basic terms of employment. Hence collective bargaining is quite important and a crucial right for all employees.
