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

[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 576941, member: 11791"] We used to have - or at least I don't live in that province any more - at least one province that didn't allow all sorts of occupations to form unions - "public servants" being one of those. They got around THAT just fine... and formed "professional associations" to speak for them. Technically NOT a union. They couldn't strike, etc. But... they enforced standards of professional conduct, collected dues, and... when necessary, showed up in court or anywhere else to support their members. Eventually... the government decided it was just plain easier to negotiate with one umbrella organization, than to keep pretending that it wasn't a "union". But they still call them "professional associations". [/QUOTE]
