Nigel has decided that CalRebuild needs to increase share value by reducing labor costs without violating the law or its ethical values.

CalRebuild has a mix of employees; some are older, some are young trainees, some are of mixed race, some identify as LGBT and transgender, some are generation G or Z, and some are Millennials. In addition, some employees are salaried, some are on contracts, some are full-time, some are part-time, some are independent contractors, and some were hired with the understanding they are at-will employees.

Nigel directs you to advise the Board of Directors on a viable legal and ethical strategy.

1. Potential legal issues;
2. Relevant law to be applied to each option, including applicable statutes;
3. Ethical issues that may exist in this scenario and relevant ethical principles that apply; and,
4. Provide a conclusion that lists the option you select and the reasons for your selection.
