- Title
Rights in the Workplace: A Nozickian Argument.
- Authors
Maitland, Ian
- Abstract
There is a growing literature that attempts to define the substantive rights of employees in the workplace, a.k.a. the duties of employers toward their employees. Following Nozick, this article argues that - so long as there is a competitive labor market - to set up a class of moral rights in the workplace invades workers' rights to freely choose the terms and conditions of employment they judge best.
