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

Another “benefit” associated with a “Right to Work” state (such as Idaho)
is the employer’s right to terminate employment without reason.
<br>
<br>
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).<br>
<br>
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-M’s 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.<br>
