Unjust Discharges From Employment: A Necessary Change in the Law
By Cornelius J. Peck
journal article

Year 1979
Publisher Ohio State Law Journal
Volume 40
Description It is not the purpose of this article to restate, except in a limited way, the persuasive case already made by others against preservation of the principle that permits employers to discharge employees without cause or even for a bad cause. It is instead to develop additional arguments to force what is frequently a timid and reluctant judiciary to reconsider the problem on the merits. Development of these arguments appears to be necessary because, despite the appeal to academicians of proposals such as that of Professor Summers, there is little chance of enactment of a remedial statute concerning this aspect of the employment relation.
