Workplace discrimination NPR

Think you have rights after work? Some employers do not seem to think you do and here is a couple of horror stories from NPR.

In Missouri, workers not in a union might find this audio to be true. Nationally, workers have few rights. This audio is only the tip of the iceberg.

In fact, an "at will" employee can be dismissed for about any reason with no reason given by employer.

By the way, an employee trying to form an union can indeed be fired and there are thousands of examples. Illegal? Perhaps, but proving it in most cases cannot be proven even in states and areas that the practice is not permitted. Fines and penalties on companies doing this is a joke and national discrace in a nation that values rights.

Employee Free Choice Act would help, but even the proposed changes do not go far enough to insure worker rights.
