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

[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 577076, member: 1550"] Terry, I understand small businesses and their problems and I think that maybe under fifty employees and you should be able to do what you like. But federally funded and state employers, who get tons from our taxes, and big companies...there should be rules protecting employees. It costs US money too when some of us need to find childcare and then plan our budgets based on our jobs and we get fired for NO reason at all. Why should all the advantage go to the employer? And COBRA is dang expensive...I look forward for the ACA kicking in. I think which side you sit on is which side you take. I personally don't believe one entity should have all the power. It isn't like this anywhere else in the world and it shouldn't be here. And I think we'll see it change one day. I am looking forward to the next Wisconsin election :) And I voted for Walker and was very anti-union until it happened to me. Shows you how your own personal experience can change ones mind fast :). Kind of laughing at my own swap in thinking. It's one thing to say, "Well, it's their business...why shouldn't they be able to do whatever t hey want to do?" and it's another to know the helpless feeling of being punished without cause...lol. I've totally switched sides, although I think it should go beyond just unions. [/QUOTE]
