The Board of Directors is aware that with the high earnings recently announced, shareholders are expecting high returns after a dismal four quarters last year.

1. This debate is based on the following scenario:
Lyone, Inc. is a non-union manufacturer of consumer household
goods. Their industry is largely union, yet they have remained
without a union because employees have always felt that they
could work well with management and that management
protected the employees and treated them fairly. Recently, the
employees have sought a pay increase after accepting a wage
freeze last year. The economy has improved, production is at an
all-time high, and employees want to be rewarded for their
efforts and loyalty.
The Board of Directors is aware that with the high earnings
recently announced, shareholders are expecting high returns
after a dismal four quarters last year. If they approve a modest
pay increase for the employees who accepted the wage freeze
last year, they will not be able to release the high-rate dividends
to shareholders. Also, the Board fears that a failure to comply
with the reasonable employee demand might prompt the
employees to seek union representation, something the Board
does not want to encounter.
