Scene to read · Equity, Self-awareness
Whose Saturdays are they?
You are a member of the residents' committee and have booked the common room on many prime Saturdays.
The residents' meeting just ended in the common room, beside the wall calendar. Kjell, a newer resident who works weekends, has asked the committee to replace first-come Saturday bookings with a monthly lottery. Klaus, a resident of thirty years, is defending the current rule. The committee will vote soon, and you have a vote.
The scene
Kjell: I've worked weekends all year and never got a Saturday booking.
Klaus: First-come worked for decades. Everyone planned around it; lotteries discard that.
Kjell: Look at the calendar. Most Saturdays have one name on them.
Klaus: That's fair, but we trust this rule. How will you vote?
The two questions
- 1How would you vote on the lottery proposal, and how would you explain your decision to both Kjell and Klaus?
- 2How do you decide whether a long-standing rule is fair when you personally benefit from it?
