Perhaps the most significant ethical objection to claiming a right to a pri¬vate sector job is the burden that this would place upon private employers. We could not require private employers to employ just any and all people without imposing grave and serious restriction on that employer's freedom and prop¬erty rights" We certainly can and should require that private sector employers provide an equal opportunity to work for all, but it is unreasonable to expect them to provide jobs for all. This, essentially, would be the position defended by the liberal theory of work.
