The Model Employment Termination Act: A Fair Compromise

Abstract: The Model Employment Termination Act (META) provides that most full-time employees may not be discharged without good cause. Workers in every other major industrial democracy in the world now enjoy that right. The act would also relieve employers of the threat of devastating multimillion-dollar jury verdicts under the existing common law system. For both employers and employees, the act would offer cheaper, faster, and less onerous enforcement procedures by substituting arbitration for court suits.
