Genetic Testing at Burlington

Genetic Testing at Burlington Northern People wake up ever soyday, get ready for day, and start glum to work. At work we never think about dying or getting hurt. So we do non worry enough , and we believe that our oeuvre is safe. But unfortunately there were some fatalities, while people at work, this fatalities and accidents argon still going on. Companies must care about their workers safety and withstand their environment without any danger. For this reason companies should care about ethical values.In October 2000, Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroads medical department requested a blood test from Gary Avary, in purpose of a DNA test without his permission. Accidentaly he realized that, but Burlington Northern said him that if would not accept this request, he would fired. They tried to cheat their workers and pretend some irrelevant test about their Carpel tunnel surgery which is against ADA. At the end of this case BSNF settled the suit by agreeing to halt genetic scru tiny and to pay 36 employees $2. 2 million.Because except this fake for workers, it as some mistakes against workers in work environment. First of all Kantian ethics respet to person, and we never ever should not forget that our workers are human beings like us. You should always snow respect their existence, health and safety. Secondly, BSNF lied about their health conditions. They said reason is snub of 17th chromosome, but there is not any truth like this, so BSNF playing gamble on one persons life. For utilitarian theory, if you get profit, it does not matter what is going on outside.But after his illegal situations , BSNF charged great amount money to pay their workers, first of all it is a huge loss. only they put question marks on their workers mind. The more question marks on heads , the less utility. As i said first, we always want to beliee that we are in safe in our workplace, otherwise we cannot provide any benefit to our company. As a result BSNF gave totally wrong de cisions, and they paid it hard. There is no any ethical dilemma for them. They must keep their environment safe not only for their workers, but also for their benefit.
