...Case 1 PEGGY YOUNG, Petitioner v. UNITED PARCEL SERVICE, INC. No. 12-1226 SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES Statement of key facts of the case. Under 42 U.S.C.S&2000e (K)’s accommodation denial is disparate statement and the people with pregnancy should be accommodates and treated well, similar to others who could be unable to work or able to work. The employer did not grant the plaintiff the accommodation as he relied on legitimate and unbiased motives. The petitioner was required to present the suggested reasons. The issue prompting court review of the case. The case needed to be reviewed since the lower court improperly granted an employer the summary judgment since the pregnant employee was able to provide evidence that created a genuine dispute that the employer favored some employees whose situations could not be distinguished. Therefore, the employer argument that he was relying on legitimate non-discriminatory reasons needed also...

Unemployment – Chapter 12 Bankruptcy Large and small American companies have become bankrupt either as a means to terminate business or a way to reorganize and continue to operate. The Supreme Court held unanimously in NLRB v. Bildisco & Bildisco that a collective bargaining agreement is only an executory agreement, and can be rejected by the employer after bankruptcy if the agreement burdens the estate, and the equities balance in favor of rejecting the labor contract. The Supreme Court also held that an employer commits no unfair labor practice if it unilaterally alters the terms of the existing collective bargaining agreement. After bankruptcy petition has been filed but before review by a bankruptcy court of the arguments for altering the contract. Plant Closings Local 1330, United Steel Workers of America v.

...Task 1 Part A Sole Proprietorship A sole proprietorship refers to a form of organization owned by a single individual. In this business, a single person makes all the decisions and does not have to engage a legal department to approve contracts. The owner of such a business can only use personal funds even though he or she may have separate checking and savings accounts for the business. The first characteristic of this form of business enterprise is liability. A sole proprietor suffers from unlimited liability. The owner becomes liable personally for all the obligations and debts of the business. The second characteristic is income taxes. Businesses pay federal income tax just like individuals. In a sole proprietorship, the owner pays income tax only once on the business income, which he or she reports on their personal income form. The third characteristic is control. In a sole proprietorship, the owner makes all the decisions concerning the business. In this business, the owner does not have to grant control to other people. The fourth characteristic is profit retention. If a sole proprietorship makes profits, the money belongs exclusively to the owner. The reason is that the owner and the business are one. The fifth is location. The owner can move or expand the business to a different state without consulting anybody. This is because the owner is the sole decision maker. The sixth characteristic is convenience or burden. The owner makes sure that the business complies...

...CREED CASE LAW REVIEW May 2012 INTRODUCTION When the Ontario Human Rights Code became law in 1962, creed was one of the original grounds of discrimination. This was likely to deal with the fact that at the time, there was significant overt discrimination against religious minorities. Over time, Canada’s legal and societal approach to creed rights has evolved significantly. However, it continues to be one of, if not the, most complex and controversial area of rights law. Perhaps more than any other ground in human rights codes, creed rights tend to give rise to strong opinions, even among those who may not otherwise have much to say about human rights. Everything from what is creed (and what beliefs and practices are protected under the ground of creed), how creed claims are proven, how creed must be accommodated and what to do where creed bumps up against other rights have led to judicial interpretation and public debate. In Quebec, the provincial government appointed a Commission on Accommodation Practices Related to Cultural Differences 1 in response to public discontent concerning accommodation of, among other things, creed rights. This may be in part because creed is unique in some respects. It encompasses not just innate personal characteristics but also covers associated practices and beliefs. Rights in relation to religion have been recognized as not just equality rights, but also among the “fundamental freedoms” of every Canadian as listed in s. 2 of the Canadian Charter...

...CHAPTER SUMMARY – CHAPTER 1 – ETHICS IN THE WORLD OF BUSINESS Frequently, the ethically correct course of action is clear, and people in business act accordingly. Exceptions occur when there is uncertainty about ethical obligations in particular situations or when considerations of ethics come into conflict with the practical demands of business. In deciding on an ethical course of action, we can rely to some extent on the rules of right conduct that we employ in everyday life. However, business activity also has some features that might limit the applicability of our ordinary ethical views. One distinguishing feature of business is its economic character which can be summarized as the conduct of buyers and seller and employers and employees. A second distinguishing feature of business is that it typically takes place in organizations which is a hierarchical system of functionally defined positions designed to achieve some goal or set of goals. Because business involves economic relations and transactions that take place in markets and also in organizations, it raises ethical issues for which the ethics of everyday life has not prepared us. Decisions making occurs on several distinct levels: the level of the individual, the organization, and the business system. The level of the individual represents situations that confront them in the workplace and require them to make a decision about their own well-being. The level of the organization can be identified...

...The law, nature, sources and importance This discussion is going to focus on a number of issues. Firstly, an outline is going to be given on how the law affects business in a country. From there the importance of business law is going to be deliberated, followed by the nature and sources of law. Finally, a discussion is going to be made on how the law can be improved in a country. The law has many impacts on business. In this discussion the writer discusses three ways in which the law affects business. Generally the law affects business in the following ways: * Protecting the interests of the investors * Protection of the provisions of business contracts * The law regulates the business environment * The law provides guidelines in the employee- employer relations * There are laws on tax * It promotes transparency. Regulating business environment and operations The law provides guidelines and standards in which all businesses must operate. This protects the business from crumpling as much as protecting the consumers. For examples there are laws that require the business to comply with international practices. For example the companies must declare their business deals with the international partners. The government needs to find out if the partnership is in the interest of the investor. Another example of this relates to the need of all business in the country to get registered. In registering businesses certain details are required. This ensures that...

...3 Sources of Moral Obligation by Josephson Institute on February 14, 2011 A duty is an obligation to act in a certain way. When the obligation is based on moral and ethical considerations, it is a moral duty. Often we think about moral duties in terms of rules that restrain us, the “don’ts,” as in don’t lie, cheat, or steal. Such rules comprise the so-called negative dimension of moral duty because they tell us what not to do. Since ethics is concerned with the way we ought to be, however, it also includes an affirmative dimension consisting of things we should do — keep promises, judge others fairly, treat people with respect, kindness and compassion. Sources of Moral Obligation Moral obligations can arise from three sources. The first, strangely enough, is law. 1. Law-Based Moral Obligations. Good citizens have a moral as well as a legal obligation to abide by laws; it is part of the assumed social contract of a civilized society. If a law is unjust, however, (such as those that mandated ethnic and religious persecution during the Nazi regime and those that discriminated against a person on the basis of race in South Africa and elsewhere) there may be a moral obligation to disobey it under the specific and demanding doctrine of civil disobedience. Many, but by no means all, of these moral standards of conduct are so fundamental to healthy social relations that they have been codified into laws. For example, most aspects of the moral duty to not endanger or harm others...
