Document Summary
Law and wcc: critics claim corporations have too much influence over law makers and the processes. It is harder to detect, therefore can go on for many years: wcc occurs under normal business practices: bribery, tampering with pharmaceuticals, what is ethical is unclear: no clear cut rules, there is a loyalty to the company. Some laws that combat wcc: administrative law: regulatory agencies in canada make up their own rules and punishment. Often times, it is under the honour system: anti-trust law: economic competition, can t have unfair competition between companies; price fixing etc, occupational health and safety, civil law: aka tort law, someone sues you; class action suits. Type of law that you can use with a faulty equipment between companies: criminal law, all have limitations in dealing with wcc. Racism has been tied to: people, institutions and domination.
