Even in "at will" states (which is 49/50 US states, or 50/50 depending on how you interpret Montana's approach), there are some prohibitions on what companies can do. And the "we didn't fire this employee for (prohibited reason), we fired them for something completely unrelated" thing is not novel. State labor departments are extremely familiar with it.
- SmellTheGlove 9y agoSure, but disputes cost time and money. You don't need novelty to have the deeper pockets jam things up in arb/litigation. Sorry, I'm pretty cynical when it comes to employees rights in the US. I have no direct personal experience that causes me to be, but I somehow ended up this way :)
- ubernostrum 9y agoA lot depends on how active your state labor department is. There certainly are states where they just won't care. There are other states where they'll actually do something for you.
