At-Will Employment Did you know that "At-Will" employment is actually rooted in slavery? Even under today's "modern" laws, employees are still considered "servants" and employers are called "masters." Over 60 million Americans go to work each day at "at-will" employment, meaning they have the right to quit, as opposed to being slaves. However, employers retain the right to fire. Over 2 million workers are fired each year and an estimated 200,000 are never given a reason for their discharge. Under a union contract, employers must show "just cause" for an employees discharge - a far cry from "just because" when they are at-will. |
Union Members LIVE
Better Union members have higher average wages and better benefits, in addition to having a voice on the job. Additionally, Union jobs raise the standard of living for the communities around them.
