This article takes a new look at the issue of free association, i.e. the possibility to form a collective and operate as a trade union. This is a much overlooked area within CSR research, but Dawkins argues – in alignment with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights - that freedom of association is a fundamental human right and that labour rights and human rights should be synonymous.

This article is a useful one to help draw together the two readings in this chapter. It uses organizational justice theory to link organizational drivers and motives with employee attitudes, behaviours and emotions.
