You have states where employers can hire and fire at will? The fuck?

[conuly]

Yes, and they're often quite cannily called "right to work" laws.

In fact, that's how it is in most of the United States. Either the employer or the employee can terminate the employment arrangement at any time for any reason, except reasons that are explicitly forbidden by law (e.g., race or religion).

I could fire someone because their football team beat mine? Bloody hell.

An exam I took years ago included, in a source, the sentence "allowed employees to sack people." Think that was a mistake ;0)

Yes, the theory is that if you fire people stupidly, you won't do as well as a business. This is, however, one of the reasons I feel moral boycotts are vital in the US. The other is that corporations have far too much political power, so I want to boycott the ones I feel are most dangerous to lessen their political influence.
