From the Paper:

"Evaluating how Lois Jenson and whistle blowing relate to business ethics requires examining how conflicting social and cultural values in a work environment can lead to landmark court decisions which legally restrict millions of people from engaging in workplace conduct they and their peers had previously considered justified. Her experience had national implications, which demonstrates the relationship between whistle-blowing and business ethics. Lois Jenson and other female employees working for Eveleth Mines were sexually harassed by male co-workers, who resented their presence. According to Kessler-Harris (2002) "these men were union brothers, and this, according to their leaders, was merely their culture."
