Stakeholder Interest in the Issue Influence Urgency
Kardell employees (the union) The employees are concerned with the outcome of having to shut down to rebuild in accordance to environmental issues. They also are worried about their health if they live in the community, and if Kardell is sued, will they lose their jobs? The employees have an influence, but like any other corporation; they will do what is best for the stakeholders and higher ups before the employees. They will consider and most likely choose the most cost effective solution that is also legal, instead of what is in the employees’ best interest. In keeping up with damage control, the stakeholders would want to address employees to avoid hearing information from outside sources that can cause conflict and confusion. If they care about their employees and their issues, then they need to address them in a timely manner. Not doing so will lead to unnecessary problems or issues.

City of Riverside and citizens The citizens care about sonox because of the recent health issues going on in the community. They have a right to know if Kardell Paper Mill has a hand in the increased health cases and if so what do they plan to do to rectify the situation. They have the power to influence Kardell to do something about this issue because of the threat of a lawsuit and speaking out against the recent increase in health problems. The company should reach out immediately to the citizens of Riverside to show they care and are concerned about fixing the sonox issue to help reduce the health risks. Not reaching out to the community could should a lack of compassion and anger the citizens and spark community outrage. Another factor is that some of the community members are also employees which makes increases the urgency to address it.
