ABSTRACT
The Second Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees the legal right to bear arms. Far more than the right to employment, rights within employment are the focus of rights theorists and the enactment of legal rights. People frame issues regarding a variety of aspects of employment in the language of rights. These aspects include rights to safe and healthy working conditions, fair compensation, due process in workplace rewards and punishments, collective bargaining, privacy, and others. Employment at will has been widely interpreted as allowing employees to be demoted, transferred, or dismissed without due process, that is, without having a hearing and without requirement of good reasons or "cause" for the employment decision. Philosophers Patricia H. Werhane and Tara J. Radin argue that there should be definite and specific limitations on the doctrine and practice of employment at will.
