Anyone else think "at will" work states are a joke? Is it just me?

[QUOTE="witzend, post: 576775, member: 99"] It's not a joke, it's a sick trick that big business has been playing with Americans for about 30 years now and calling it patriotic names like "Freedom Works", because hey - [I]patriotism[/I]! And everyone knows that Unions are communist. Getting close to being vested in your pension? Too bad you work in an "at will" state. Boss wants a new fleet of cars but doesn't want to pay for it? Fire the highest paid employees and use their money. You can easily be replaced with temporary workers who get no benefits in an "at will" state, and anyone who needs to have your special training and stays on at a lower rate can just take on the extra work or get fired just like you. They will in a few years anyway. It's all about getting money for shareholders. Period. You just happen to be a woman or gay or old or ill and your boss doesn't like old gay women? He can fire you in an at will state so long as he doesn't say that he fired you because you're a woman or gay or old or ill. [/QUOTE]
