Resolution on Repealing and Rescinding “At-Will Hiring and At-Will Firing”

Where as the Doctrine of “At-Will Employment” is undemocratic;

Where as “At-Will Employment” is the main and primary obstacle to union organizing;

Where as employers use “At-Will Employment” as a means to coerce workers not to report health and safety violations in the workplace;

Where as the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares it is the right of all to fully participate in society and "At-Will Employment" prevents this;

Where as “At-Will Employment” is used to silence workers in the communities where they live in a way which prevents their full participation in the political process with an intent to solve their problems;

Where as “At-Will Employment” is used to enforce racist and sexist discrimination in the workplace;

Therefore, be it resolved that “At-Will Employment” must be rescinded and repealed and replaced with the protection of “Just Cause” legislation;

Therefore, be it resolved that this becomes the position of the (name of party/organization here).
