John Locke’s view on how something becomes a person’s
property could fundamentally alter labor-management negotiations in companies.
Moreover, our assumption that management participates in the discussions may be
upended. The key, I contend, lies in how we classify labor. I submit that the paradigm
that has been handed down to us is deeply flawed in its fundamentals, and yet
strangely we do not even question its contours.
