What should the future agenda for employment law be?

• Answer:

  future agenda for employment law Speaking from personal experience, the "employment at-will" doctrine should be rewritten or abolished. This antiquated law allows workers to be fired for any reason at all with no recourse (unless you belong to a "protected class"). No doubt you or someone you know has been financially and emotionally devastated as a result of being fired unfairly. I understand Montana is currently the only state that requires and employer to show "just cause" when firing an employee. Another perspective Looking at the other side of the coin, it seems employers might be disinclined to "give someone a chance to prove themselves," especially if they knew they were going to be faced with a long and drawn out process of documenting and then proving "just cause" in order to terminate an employee who didn't work out...and then there's the very real potential for litigation. Some say the concept of tenure, once so popular in our educational system, has bred apathy and mediocrity, and that merit based employment coupled with an ongoing evaluation process is the only way to assure a productive workforce. Just my opinion.
