Abstract: This paper asks whether "a person has no equivalent" stops at a company's boundary. On April 24, 2013, the Rana Plaza building in Bangladesh collapsed and more than eleven hundred garment workers died; the five factories in the building made clothes for the American and EU markets. The dead were not the brands' employees; they were people on the partners' side. This paper's answer is: it does not stop; it goes all the way down the chain. A partner is another company, a construct; behind the construct are people. When a company writes oughts toward a partner, it is construct to construct; the people on the partner's side are identified separately by Institution Theory's two branches, and the rules and appeals the partner construct faces are examined separately under the Specialist Paper. A company buys what partners do, and the price falls on what is done; it does not press costs, layer by layer, into the Base Layer of the people on the partners' side; the longer the chain, the more clearly it must be written who is accountable, and accountability cannot be subcontracted away; the power-face that shows in a cooperative relation is subject to checks, and the more a partner depends on the company and the less it can get around it, the stronger the checks and the more explanation and routes of questioning the company owes it (GS10). The Bangladesh accord on fire and building safety, Germany's Supply Chain Due Diligence Act and Germany's ban on subcontracting in the meat industry show how the rule layer gives "all the way down the chain" efficacy, and also show that efficacy must be examined by the three questions. The UK Groceries Code Adjudicator's finding against Tesco and the EU's Late Payment Directive speak of paying as agreed and on time; the EU's Platform-to-Business Regulation speaks of a marketplace's rules being stated, changes announced in advance, differences in treatment of the platform's own offerings set out, and appeals having a door. Crossways Market telling sellers "you can choose not to sell here" does not answer what it was asked. Finally the paper speaks of direction: growing together. The paper has one proposition (GS10), stated at the end of §4 and listed again at the end. 这一篇问"人没有等价物"停不停在公司的边界上。2013 年 4 月 24 日,孟加拉的拉纳广场倒塌,死了一千一百多名制衣工人;楼里的五家工厂给美国与欧盟市场做衣服。死去的人不是那些品牌的员工,是伙伴那边的人。这一篇的回答是:不停,它沿着链往下走。伙伴是另一家公司,是构;构后面是人。公司对伙伴写应当,是构对构;伙伴那边的人照制度论的两支另认,伙伴构面对的规则与申诉照专论另核。公司买的是伙伴做的事,价格落在事上;不把成本一层层压进伙伴那边的人的基础层;链越长,越要写清谁负责,责任不能被分包分没了;合作关系里显出的权力面受制衡,伙伴越依赖、越绕不过去,制衡越强,公司欠它的说明与问路越多(GS10)。孟加拉的消防与建筑安全协议、德国的供应链尽职调查法、德国肉类业的外包禁令,示范规则层怎样让"沿着链往下"有实效,也示范实效要照三问去核。英国食品杂货守则裁判官对 Tesco 的认定与欧盟的逾期付款指令,说的是照约定、按时付钱;欧盟的平台对企业条例,说的是场上的规则说得出、改了先讲、自营的差别写明、申诉有门。通衢市集对卖家说"可以不在这里卖",答不到被问的那件事。最后说方向:一起长。全篇一条(GS10),写在第四节末,篇末合列。 Related works(11) Relation Identifier Scheme Resource type Title References 10.5281/zenodo.23269635 DOI Publication / Preprint To Whom the Ought Is Addressed (SAE Institution Theory, Paper 1) References 10.5281/zenodo.23270384 DOI Publication / Preprint Not Crossing the Line (SAE Institution Theory, Paper 2) References 10.5281/zenodo.23271324 DOI Publication / Preprint Open to Questioning (SAE Institution Theory, Paper 6) References 10.5281/zenodo.23874138 DOI Publication / Preprint Accumulation (SAE Political Economy, Paper 1) References 10.5281/zenodo.23874140 DOI Publication / Preprint Chokepoints (SAE Political Economy, Paper 2) References 10.5281/zenodo.23874142 DOI Publication / Preprint Checks (SAE Political Economy, Paper 3) References 10.5281/zenodo.23874146 DOI Publication / Preprint Conversion (SAE Political Economy, Paper 4) References 10.5281/zenodo.24021385 DOI Publication / Preprint A Way Out, a Way Forward (SAE Political Economy, Specialist Paper) References 10.5281/zenodo.24045721 DOI Publication / Preprint Investment (SAE Theory of the Company, Paper 1) References 10.5281/zenodo.24045723 DOI Publication / Preprint Working Together (SAE Theory of the Company, Paper 2) References 10.5281/zenodo.24045731 DOI Publication / Preprint Service (SAE Theory of the Company, Paper 3)
