Fourth, the power of dominant groups
may give them undue influence over group
rights in a number of ways. For instance,
having legal status and the many corresponding
rights accorded to them, corporations can
acquire large resources and considerable
power. Individuals and communities cannot
match this organizational power. Consequently,
countervailing power resources –
labor organizing, codetermination, works
councils, and environmental monitoring
laws – are often necessary to balance the
bargaining.
