In Reply to: Aint there a law against that? posted by driver8 on March 30, 2007 at 06:51:01:
I am not an employment attorney or HR expert - however in VA, we are what is known as a "right to work" and "at will" state.1. "Right to work" means that in the event a union shop exist, you cannot be "forced" to join the union. (In many Union shops, in order to work there you HAVE to join the union. In VA that is illegal)
2. "At Will" means you are employed at the will of the company. So technically the company does not need a reason to let you go. This is a very Simplified explanation because other factors come in to play such as discrimination, protected classes, etc. However, in order to make a case in this situation you have to show a clear trend regarding separated employees. IE: All the people fired were over 55, or were women, etc. Most companies use some baseline policies to avoid law suits and provide "plausible defense" in the event they do get sued. However, in most cases unless you are a protected class, at least in VA - you are SOL.
