Abstract
This paper is a critical review of Ian Maitland's "Rights in the Workplace: A Nozickian Argument" Joseph DesJardins and John McCall, eds. Contemporary Issues in Business Ethics. Toronto: Wadsworth, 2000, 119-123., This paper reviews the validity of the article, claiming that Maitland argues that defining workers' rights in the labor market actually represents a violation of their right to freely choose the conditions of their own employment. While this may seem to be a paradox, this essay will argue that the underlying assumption of Maitland's thesis is that the marketplace is both competitive and functional. Ironically, this is also the underlying weakness that undermines Maitland's thesis.
