I've posted in other threads that I support the rights of workers to organize labor unions and I also support "just cause protection" laws. I don't like some of the thuggish tactics that I've seen from the public sector unions but until states start recognizing the need for more rights of workers and begin passing "just cause protection" legislation to protect their job security I'll stick with unions.
I believe there's only one or two states in this country that have "just cause" legislation, Montana being one of them. In that state a company has to give a reason for terminating an employee. Wrongfully discharged employees in that state can sue up to four years for back pay and recover attorney's fees. It's been a while since I checked on that though, but that's how it stood unless things have changed there....

I have to admit, that's pretty noble. Now answer me this: without big, bad government to make sure that workers have these rights recognized, and to make sure that employers abide by them, what good are these laws? What good is this noble position of yours when anybody you ever vote for is going to do exactly the opposite?

Quote:Your turn...I would love to see what you consider an example of your relative lack of political bias, in the form of a quote showing you rejecting a liberal position on anything ever,

I never claimed to be unbiased. I can think of very few conservative political positions that don't strike me as inhumane, petty, self-absorbed and/or destructive. The leaders of American conservatism are engaged in one-upping each other to see who can come up with the worst ideas and who can come up with the best justification for harming other people. The relatively sane and humane bunch are derided as RINOs.
