[Vision2020] RE: Right to Work

It is NOT whether or not an employer should have the right to hire and fire
employees, Mr. Harkins.

 

It is whether or not the employer should be permitted to terminate
employment WITHOUT CAUSE.

I wonder if Mr. Greene (or any other local business owner) believes they
should have the right to hire and terminate their employees?

Another benefit associated with a Right to Work state (such as Idaho) is
the employers right to terminate employment without reason.  
 
The absence of organized labor (pronounced union) reflects a major lack of
protection for the employee.  The employer is then free to implement any
company policy that management deems appropriate (i.e. no paid over-time).
 
So, before anybody submits a job application at the Wal-Mart Super Center
(whether it be located in Pullman or South Hill), take a long, hard look at
what you are getting into (talk with other employees and look into W-Ms
health coverage, wage scales).  Find out what is happening at the here and
now and not with other shareholders of another company in another state at
another time.
