Which of the following actions is in accordance with the Ten Principles in the United Nations (UN) Global Compact?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact cover areas related to human rights, labor, environment, and anti-corruption. Principle 6 specifically states the elimination of discrimination in respect of employment and occupation, which includes ensuring fair wages. However, paying different wages in different parts of the world for a given job classification can be acceptable if it reflects local living standards and economic conditions, ensuring fair compensation in each context.

Preventing a group of employees from forming a collective bargaining (union) group violates Principle 3, which supports the right to collective bargaining.

Requiring an individual to pay a fee for consideration in hiring or promotion decisions breaches principles related to non-discrimination and fair labor practices.

Withholding certain employment opportunities from specific groups of people directly violates Principles 1 and 6, which promote human rights and anti-discrimination.

I studied that the Global Compact supports collective bargaining, so option A definitely doesn't align with those principles.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like option C about fees for hiring might also go against ethical labor standards.

I remember a practice question about wage disparity, and it mentioned that paying different wages could violate principles of equality.

I think the UN Global Compact emphasizes human rights and fair labor practices, so options A and D seem wrong.
