Transit Workers Strike

Transit Workers Strike

Q 1. The transit workers strike was actually illegal. After a similar walkout years before, the Taylor Law had been enacted; it barred transportation workers from leaving their posts and implemented arbitration methods for settling disputes. When the workers ignored the law, a judge hit them with fines and sentenced their leaders to short jail terms. In the face of the strike’s illegality, how can a rights argument be mounted to ethically justify the walkout? Is the rights argument affected by the fact that many commuters suffered? 2. What is the public safety argument against a union going out on strike? From the information provided, how could it be implemented in this case? How would the public safety argument against the strike differ from the public welfare argument? In general terms, is there a public welfare argument that could be sketched in favor of the strike? Cite your sources.?

1. Ethically and economically the strikes are affecting the business. The rights argument in the favor of the workers can be convinced and directed in several ways. Although it is the right of an individual to work or not to work, still, the action of the inion cannot be denied. Therefore, it can be stated that a rights argument can be mounted ethically justify the walkout. If the working conditions are not good enough then the strike can be justified from the labor union. Even the walkout can be justified as there us a proper authorization supporting the action (Brusseau 2012, p.716). On the other hand, it can be stated that there should other attempts to find the solution of the poor working condition rather than going for the strike.
