t
26
what are 3 criterias set by richard degeorge FOR MORALLY PERMISSIBLE
1. the harm that "will be done by the product to the public is SERIOUS and considerable"; 2. the employees report their concern to their IMMEDIATE SUPERIORS; and 3. GETTING NO SATISFACTION from their immediate superiors, they exhaust the channels available within the organization.
27
what are 3 criterias set by richard degeorge FOR MORALLY OBLIGATORY
1. the employee has "DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE that would CONVINCE a responsible, impartial observer that his view of the situation is correct and the company pol-icy is wrong"; and 2. the employee has "STRONG EVIDENCE that making the information PUBLIC will in fact PREVENT the threatened serious HARM."
28
CRITICS TO THE CRITERIAS READ ONLY
1. An employee is not in a POSITON to gather evidence that is totally convincing. 2. It should not always be necessary for employees to report their criticisms to their SUPERIORS. 3. Sometimes, employees have no effective way to make their protests known to higher management except by going PUBLIC. 4. It is not always possible to get documented EVIDENCE of a problem. Often, organi-zations deprive employees of access to the vital information needed to make a con-clusive argument for their position. 5. The obligation to make the protest may not always mean there will be strong evidence that a protest will prevent the harm. Just giving those exposed to a harm the chance to give free and informed consent to the potential harm is often a sufficient justification of the protest.
