The final problem with individual bargaining has also been discussed previously. Important questions of social justice and public policy are ignored if we approach questions solely from the point of view of an individual. For example suppose the risk of lung cancer for the general population is 7 in 100,000 per year. Suppose that the risk faced by workers exposed to various workplace chemicals increases to 20 in 100,000. Consider the questions that would be asked solely from the point of view of an individual bargaining with an employer. While the increased risk the tripled, it still remains quite low and the increased risk over the background rate of lung cancer is only 13 in 100,000.
