what are the ethical norms of consideration to alcohol companies?

You are talking about an industry with absolutely no morals or ethics whatsoever.  If it wasn't for the laws, they would have no problem selling alcohol to toddlers.

I wouldn't think there should be eny ethical issues. If the competitors are doing a good job, the purchasers will know it, and vice versa. Nothing wrong with someone asking questions to those who would know...I would think the ethical issue would be if the competition was doing a poor job or handling their matters unethically, and nobody did anything about it, and then the all the rest of the competitors can fill in the gap and provide the purchasers with excellent service.

If the owner's relative was not the best candidate for the position, it certainly wasn't ethical and that's called nepotism.  Unfortunately, I think it is legal.\n\nIt isn't fair, in my opinion, and demonstrates to other employees that the owner is not loyal to them or respectful of them.

Yes it is....it not only violates moral ethics, but may also violate your workplace ethics as well.  Speak to your superiors about this situation because it may have been going on for quite some time....

Not true.  Only crimes of moral turpitude are ineligibilities.  Drinking near a store is just a crime of bad taste and silliness.

Corporations are given the rights of individuals and should be held accountable by the same standards. Like all good citizens they have a responsibility to protect the environment of the communities they reside in as well as the places where their products are used. They also have a responsibility to protect their employees from environmental and workplace hazards.\n\nThey have a responsibility to their customers, employees and stockholders to operate their businesses honestly and fairly. They must avoid deception and the appearance of deception.\n\nUnfortunately corporations have accepted the rights of individuals and have avoided the responsibility portion of the formula. Corporations today have very little regard for communities they reside in.  They hide under the shield of multinationalism. They operate everywhere with responsibility to no one. They strip natural resources from countries without environment protections statutes. When they are forced to clean up their act they simply move to the next third world country. They have a total disregard for people, governments and cultures. They do the absolute minimum required. They have no regard for others.\n\nModern corporation operate for the benefit of their executives and key investors, and no one else. They routinely shift resources between corporations at the expense of the common stock holder. They have become so powerful that they manipulated governments and even instigate wars to protect their assets. Today’s corporations have become the monsters without souls and new laws need to be written to protect society from them.

When it falls below my own standards of what is acceptable and what is not acceptable.  You need to establish the parameters of your standards first, and then make a decision based upon that.  For example, if a lady liked to have some beers and wine on the weekend I would have no problem with that.  If she likes to smoke that funny tobacco every day, I'd be out the door.

1. There are no ethics in business.\n\n2. Business is in and of itself dishonest.\n\n3. White collar crime does not need to be taught, it is inherent.

YES, any coercion to attend AA, or to profess belief in 12-step ideology, by any government entity, is an Establishment Clause violation.\n   12-step ideology is a religious belief system.\n   The best way to understand the problem is from the opposite way around -- suppose a person is ordered by a government agency to "get help to stop drinking" after an incident, and the agency specifies AA.  The person finds they do not cotton to the 12-step ideology - that the idea of a "higher power" removing "character defects" and stopping them from drinking if they pray hard enough just makes no sense.  But the person decides to stop drinking though personal empowerment ideology (the antithesis of AA's "I am powerless, only God can save me" ideology), and repeated breath and urine tests prove the person is indeed abstaining.  Now the agency that ordered AA involvement finds out they are not "working the steps" and threatens the person with jail (or job loss, or loss of children, etc.) if they do not demonstrate a "sincere commitment" to AA and the 12 steps.\n     Is this fair? - Should someone be punished for being sober the "wrong" way? \n    This is not a far-fetched scenario, by the way. I experienced it myself. I was told by the government agency in my situation that "being sober is not enough", that they "need to see that I am working the 12 steps or else I will face severe consequences."\n   This is indeed government-coerced religious involvement. I successfully sued over this.\n   The government can order sobriety in certain circumstances.  But HOW someone achieves it is no one's business.

Six sigma is a quality improvement method and not really directly tied to ethics per se.\n\nHowever, six sigma can very easily be applicable to pharmaceutical companies.\n\nHere is a link to six sigma info and resources.

No, if it has come about that your employer trusts you with that type of responsibility, then that means you have earned that trust and you should keep to that level of, not only his respect, but your own self respect. On the other hand, if you prefer the living conditions of your other cellmates and their company, by all means, follow your misguided temptations.
