For a completely different perspective, I want to raise a few points, in no specific order.
I don't believe having laws that make people hard to fire is the right solution, because a healthy relationship with your work is absolutely critical for a fulfilling job. In essence, jobs should be mutually voluntary and easy to terminate with reasonable terms and notice.
I think what is more important is that there should exist sound social infrastructure and safety-nets that affords employees better negotiation power. There is nothing that makes you weaker in a negotiation than being desperate for the transaction.
Let's face it, we are headed into a new era and a new industrial revolution that is going to make millions of jobs obsolete.
If this sounds too much like an argument for Universal Basic Income, it is not because it is intended to be, it is because UBI may be after all the right solution going forward.

- monksy 8y ago> jobs should be mutually voluntary and easy to terminate with reasonable terms and notice. I agree with you on that. But that's not what we have right now. The entire US (IANAL) is At-will employment. Which means that you can be let go for nearly any reason. There are no safety nets that will protect you if you're in the right. (I.e. The employer didn't want to hold their end of the bargain on vacation time when it's "unlimited pto") Having an internet mob going after you because you made a silly comment off the job on Twitter or that you don't agree with the current political climate is not a reasonable reason to fire someone.
