The company had accomplished multiple unfair practices, from interrogating employees to not recognizing their bargaining rights. After reading the case study I couldn't help but side with the union. The way Larry Melton went about finding information from his employees was interrogating and disrespectful.

Reasonableness itself is any clause which purports to either exclude or restrict liability for a breach of contract (s.3 of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977), this applies where the party subject to the term is either dealing as a consumer or on the other party’s written standard terms of business. Meaning that a non –consumer party will be subject to a test of reasonableness (s.3(2)(a)). In s.3(2)(b) it goes further into discussing the extension towards any contractual term by virtue which a party may claim to be entitled. Within these provisions we can infer that it’s this section is trying to exclude liability indirectly, by using the clauses that define a party’s obligations very restrictively. The requirement of reasonableness is set out in s 11 of the UCTA 1977, the main element of the test is that ….a fair and reasonable one to be included having regard of the circumstances which were or ought reasonably to have been, known to or in the contemplation of the parties when the contract was made.
In its response to problems in its contractor factories, do you think Gap Inc. moved through the stages of corporate citizenship presented in this chapter? Why or why not?

Abstract Insider trading is defined as "insiders trading on shares of a company for which they have privileged 'material' information not available to the 'public', and for which they seek to gain pecuniary or other benefits" . Past literature has provided numerous studies discussing the application of ethics to insider trading and to what extend one can consider such a practise as moral or immoral. Engelen and Liedekerke make a clear distinction between insider trading and market manipulation that they define as where private information is used in order to make a share value shift from its fundamental value and therefore implies market inefficiency. Under their definition insider trading, on the other hand, can hardly be qualified as immoral and increase market efficiency. The discussion about insider trading therefore leads to the much wider issue of morality Vs legality.
