I'd like to start by saying that I do agree with you that some basic rules about the relationship between employer and employee reach the level of "moral imperative" and should be codified in law. "At will" employment is a big part of this (if you don't like it, you leave), but I certainly do agree that there should be some legally enforced rules around this. So the only real disagreement we have is where to draw the line. Do you really put the right to telecommute on the same moral level as having a place to pee or time off to go to the bathroom?
