Cover of Workplace justice without unions

Justice in the U.S. nonunion workplace operates within the tenets of employment-at-will. Based on the late nineteenth century Woods rule, this concept led courts to recognize the right of an employer to fire a worker at any time, for any reason. Fortunately for nonunion workers, a workplace justice system has evolved that provides them some recourse when they have been let go without just cause. This is a complex and not widely understood system, but now there is a book that clarifies its workings and compares its effectiveness and fairness to a variety of other workplace justice systems.
