[transcript: “Can the covid 19 vaccine be made legally mandatory? Can jobs mandate that you have it to go to work?
49 of the 50 US states have “employment at will” laws, which gutted worker protections, reduced or eliminated fair labor relations boards, and made it absolutely legal for employers to terminate employees with or without notice and with or without cause for any reason whatsoever as long as the reason isn’t membership in a protected class.
So, yes, it’s legal.
I see this question a lot on Quora, and I must confess I do literally, not figuratively, laugh every time I see it.
When Ronald Reagan was in office, one of the big conservative legislative pushes was to gut fair worker relations laws and abolish fair labor relations boards in favor of a system that offered basically zero worker protections. Worker protections are Socialist! Fair labor laws are government intrusion in private business! Business works better without government oversight!
Conservatives battled ceaselessly for decades to pass these laws. Liberals kept saying “you know, if you pass these laws, there will come a day when they’re used against conservatives” and conservatives were all “no, no, no, never happen, I can’t hear you la la la.”
Now here we are. 49 states have implemented at-will employment laws, and…
Conservatives are having their contracts dropped because of the things they Tweet. Conservatives who don’t want to wear masks or get vaccinated are getting fired. And conservatives are all “it’s not fair this can’t be legal how dare you do that MY CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS!”
We told you.
We told you this would happen.
Yes. Yes, it is legal.”]
Ive tried to explain this to conservatives before, and they just deny it. I’ve also tried to explain that, yes, Twitter and FB *do* have too much power, and it’s all their own fault for ignoring us when we told them it was going to be a problem to let companies get that big through a lack of regulation.
