Controlling Who Can Work Where Because of Risk
One of the discussion points in the Court's decision in Johnson Controls was whether the employer could be held liable for birth defects in children born to women who worked in the high-lead areas of the factory. Because unborn children are incapable of giving consent, the tort argument would be that the employer caused the harm. Discuss the ethical obligations of a company when protection of the fetus would result in violation of federal law. What will the courts be facing when state tort law allows recovery by the children against companies who were required to permit the mothers to choose the higher-risk jobs?
