IF a company is to exercise the social contract to get a resource should it try to pay the workers both native and foreigners less and reduce their standard of living?
No, under no circumstances should companies attempt or engage in practices that aim at paying local (native) or non-local labor forces lower wages than what is fair for the work they perform. This not only goes against ethical business principles but also violates international human rights standards and could potentially harm social stability within a community by fueling resentment towards foreign firms operating therein.
A socially responsible company should respect local wage levels, ensuring that workers are paid fairly based on industry norms or prevailing market wages for similar jobs in the region; this approach not only helps maintain good relations with host communities but also fosters long-term sustainability and trust between all stakeholders involved.<|im_end|>
