Amazon’s new ‘Flex’ delivery services has been criticised for terminating delivery workers without due process. Analyse whether it is ethical for Amazon to end workers’ roles in this way from a Kantian perspective and then critically analyse whether you agree with this assessment. Your answer should be organised in essay form – one single answer – but address all the following stages in order, using subheadings to distinguish each section (paragraphs lengths are recommended / approximate):

1. Introduce your essay: Explain the purpose of your essay and how your essay will achieve this purpose (1 short paragraph).

2. Explain ethics theory: Explain how Kantians would decide what is ethical and what reasons they provide for this view (1-2 paragraphs).

3. Explain theory steps: What steps a Kantian would take to decide if a person or company is acting ethically (1 paragraph).

4. Apply ethics theory: Use the steps set out in point 3 to assess whether a Kantian would agree or disagree with the level of due process Amazon provides in this case (2- 3 paragraphs).

5. Critically analyse: State whether you agree with this Kantian analysis and explain why with reference to relevant limits of, or alternatives to, the theory (1-2 paragraphs).

6. Conclude your essay: Summarise your main argument (1 short paragraph).
