What at-will employment is — and how banning it would drastically help workers

from Screw the Hierarchy · host Debra S Falzoi

At-will employment means you're at the will of your employer. So your employer doesn't need just cause — or any cause at all — to terminate you so long as they don't discriminate against you. That's a pitiful foundation of rights for employees (meaning almost none). Find out what two Massachusetts legislators are doing to change the status quo and which single state already banned at-will employment (I would never have guessed). If you feel like you need more help, I have a free guide to recovery steps at dignitytogether.org/targets and a signup for daily boosts through your inbox at the same place.
