Explain the fundamental conflict over property rights versus worker rights.

Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).


When it comes to the employment relationships, a capital owner's primary interest is in maintaining control over their assets (i.e., the business) and maximizing efficiency of operations. In this way, they are able to improve the value of their property while maintaining control over it. Workers, on the other hand, are concerned with equity and voice (worker rights). They wish to receive their "fair share" of profits in the organization (i.e., returns to efficiency). Further, they wish to have some say in how the organization operates and how they are treated (as a matter of equity). These perspectives are often in conflict as employers see employee voice as a threat to their autonomy and control while equity is often seen to threaten efficiency and profits.
