Breach of Morality and Remedy
The case of breach of morality as presented in the film occurs when Josey realizes that there is a high rate of sexual harassment directed towards female workers at her new work place, the iron mine site. Josey also fall a victim of sexual harassment from her co-worker Bobby; she decides to inform her boss, Pavich concerning the issue but the Pavich refuses to take the issue as a serious challenge. This is an aspect of breach of morality because Pavich consciously refuses to take the right actions concerning the issues raised by Josey. To remedy this breach, Pavich as a supervisor at the mine has the moral obligation to inform the guilty individuals and other workers at the work place that sexual harassment towards fellow female workers or male workers is a form of workplace discrimination. These acts are prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and are punishable by law (Hersch and Jennifer, 425). Pavich should ensure that appropriate legal actions are taken against individuals found guilty of exposing their fellow workers to incidences of sexual harassment.
Ethical Breach Remedy
The Mining Company has also violated confidentiality as an ethical aspect of a workplace. Companies and other employment sectors are usually to observe confidentiality particularly when dealing with issues of reporting workplace harassment or any challenge experienced by employees. The mining company through its owner, Don Pearson violates confidentiality information he received from Josey concerning the challenges women experience at the mines and decides to share the information with other stakeholders such as Pavich. This compels Josey to resign from her workplace and pursue a legal approach to resolve the issue. The company could remedy this breach by ensuring that key stakeholders take responsibility for problems experienced by female workers. Don Pearson could resolve the problem and prevent the company from liability by performing an investigation into the matter and taking the most appropriate legal actions against individuals found guilty.
