I was so confused when I first heard about “at will employment” because the way they soften it up to sound like a positive thing also implies that there are places where you legally can’t quit your job. But they’re not trying to imply that; they’re merely dancing around the fact it means you can be fired without needing a reason. Which makes sense only if you think about whose will is being invoked.
It came about in this state when a major project was in the works. They passed those laws thinking they would wipe out unemployment in the state. After those suckers/fools/sell outs voted it in all the rat outfits came in with shiploads of their own rats from out of state. Sure they used a few scut work locals but they gutted the unions and pay fell. Same story different day. The irony is after the project neared completion those same rat companies had to hire union labor to fix all the fuck ups.
Right to work was passed during a period of labor surplus as a means of breaking unions. Now that we are entering a labor shortage I would expect a push to repeal them with corporate friendly employment contracts as the new norm.
