What are you willing to give up in exchange? If the employer can't end the relationship because they got a better offer, are you willing to offer the same in return? If you get better hours and more money, can we decide you're not allowed to take that offer?

Uh. No? The people working at a business matter more than that business. This just is not that hard to noodle out.

  Uhh, get with program, young lad, the shareholders matter more and not you, the employee. Unless it is a company owned by its employees. So maybe this is one of the answers: coops competing in the market.

  It's confusing to me that you want to subsidize a relatively wealthy demographic at the expense of the young and relatively poor.

My salary is renegotiated every year. If my employer truly thinks they can get a better offer they can reduce my salary to whatever they think my market rate is. Obviously they don't, because that kind of strategy is, well, completely batshit if you want to run a successful business. Yet you're saying that the same thing is just fine if the business waits for a "lay-off" and then preferentially fires me for reasons having nothing to do with performance?

  I'm saying either of you should be able to terminate the relationship at any moment for any reason. You can discriminate in any way towards your employer if you're racist, sexist, ageist, etc. These kinds of policies subsidize relatively wealthy, disproportionately white workers at the expense of poorer and increasingly minority workers.
