HOW ETHICAL VALUES VARY During my Christmas break, I was
HOW ETHICAL VALUES VARY During my Christmas break, I was employed at ABC Company, a caulk manufactory located in a small town. Jim Wilson, who had little or no education, was employed in the shipping department at ABC. He was also trained as a blender in case someone in the Blending Department quit, went on vacation, or was fired. Luis Alberto, who was about 58 years old, was also employed at ABC Company, as a packer. Basically, a packer operates a machine that fills the cartridges with caulk, seals the tubes, and finally places either 12 or 24 10-ounce cartridges in a box. Luis’s education did not range beyond an eighth-grade level. Luis’s daughter-in-law was also employed at ABC, as a chemist in the lab. She spoke up when Luis’s employment situation was on the line. She even told management when it was time to consider giving Luis an increase in his earnings. Prior to the Christmas holiday break, the hired blender quit. Knowing how hard the position was to fill, Jim was told it was a permanent position. Jim was told by his supervisor, “Jim, you can’t get another job anywhere in town because you don’t have a high school diploma and you can’t read, so you are up the creek if you don’t take this position.” Nothing was mentioned to Luis about the position. Luis’s daughter-in-law made sure that the supervisor kept the opening notice out of Luis’s sight. Knowing the dangers of that particular job, she thought it was in his best interest not to be made aware of it. It seems as if Jim Wilson had to do all the dirty work in the plant without being able to say anything.
