Description
Summary:	This case positions the reader to consider the ethical pathways confronting budget planners of a state unemployment compensation system at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Facing a major budget shortfall, state officials and labor leaders contemplate a grand bargain entailing state workers foregoing a promised pay increase in return for enhanced federal unemployment compensation benefits. This case requires the reader to consider the moral rationalizations of leaders, as well as evaluating the ethical consequences of their actions. Through the case experience, students will become familiar with the options available to leaders working during an economic crisis and the impact policy decisions can have on stakeholders.
