Student response to my post that you did

Latoya, although I am not in favor of at-will arrangements, I must point out that there is some recourse for employees who are hurt on the job. They may file workers' compensation, and it is illegal for the organization to retaliate on those grounds. Similarly, organizations cannot retaliate if any employee refuses to do something illegal. These are just two exemptions to at-will contracts. Overall, I do not think at-will employment is in the best interest of employees, and many amendments are needed to strengthen protection for workers in at-will states/ organizations.

Professor response to my post

I am not sure there is any benefit to an employee in an at will employment condition.  I feel they can be let go at any time with or without warning or reason.  I really feel for those trapped in this work condition with little or no other means of making a living.  I think this type of work condition serves only the interest of the employer.  These are just my opinion.
