2、nerships Enough?Harry J. Van Buren，Michelle GreenwoodSummary：One of the essential ethical issues in the employment relationship is the loss of employee voice. Many of the ways employees have previously exercised voice in the employment relationship have been rendered less effective by (1)the changin
3、g nature of work, (2) employer preferences for flexibility that often work to the disadvantage of employees, and (3) changes in public policy and institutional systems that have failed to protect workers. We will begin with a discussion of how work has changed in the last 20 years in countries like

We will then consider whether voluntary action by employers such as social auditing is sufficient to ens

One of the essential ethical issues in the employment relationship is the loss of employee voicethe ability of employees to raise concerns and to negotiate about the te

In the past, many employees exercised voice in the employment relationship through membership in a union that bargained collectively on their behalf. But unions have declined in impo

In a number of countriesincluding Australia and the United Statesunionization rates have fallen over time (de Ruyter and Burgess,2003;Johnstone
11、et al.,2004;Kochan,2005),to the detriment of workers rights and abilities to exercise voice. For many employees, the loss of voice has meant that their relationships with employers are governed by contracts of adhesion, in which employers set terms of employment that employees can either take or lea

Often lost in discussions about the utility of changing employment patterns is a discussion of the ethical

Much of the literature on employment practices has considered whether particular kinds of practices are good or bad for employers (Roehling et al.,2000) or employees (Berg, Kalleberg, and Appelbaum,2003;Guest and Conway , 1999).Our ana
