is there a law to protect employee against the at will employee law?



Best Answer:
Every State has its own version of the employment-at- will doctrine. This doctrine had its origins surrounded by England before the United States was a country and it was brought to the U.S. at a time when we be primarily an agrarian society and the economy consisted of mostly farms. The at-will doctrine states that either the employer or the hand can begin or end the employment relationship at any time without spot, -- for good reason, bad defence, or no reason. If you have a written contract of employment that is valid, the at-will doctrine does not apply to your employment. There is no "law" which protects you from the at-will doctrine, but depending on the State you live contained by, there may be one or more "exceptions" to the doctrine. For example, in some States, you cannot be fired for calling attention to an illegal or unlawful deed or for refusing to remain silent about an illegal or unlawful conduct yourself; for filing a workers comp claim; for serving on a jury; for going to the polls to vote on election day. Each State is different. Then, near are laws "(usually Federal laws) which prohibit termination/discharge because of race, sex, religion, national origin, disability, age, and retaliation. It is unlawful to fire you because you took check out of under the Family & Medical Leave Act; because you took rightfully demanded overtime pay for work that you did in excess of 40 hours per week; and other similar law.

If you are asking if you can sue an employer (or ex employer) for firing you for no reason (other than federal laws), then the answer is no. They can fire you for one and the same reasons that you can quit.
That is logically impossible. IF a law was passed that overruled any prior tenet, the prior law would no longer BE the law. In MY view, the 'employee at will' tenet IS a protection of BOTH the employee and the employer's right to 'freedom of association'.
