I take pride in every job I have ever held. I rarely call in, I put in a full day of work and I make it a point to do my job in a professional manner. It is pain in the ass when people call in because they want to not because they are sick or have a family emergency. When the slackers do come to work they come in late, look like crap, do half ass job, goof off and then want to go home early.
In the end the rest of have to suffer because a new policy has to be written and enforced to correct the habits of the slackers. In my opinion every employer should have the right fire at will. If they can show someone is piece of crap employee they should be able to fire them.
Thanks to all the feel good labor laws the only way you can fire someone is when they break the law, not show up for three consecutive days or through layoffs.

Judging by your comments it would appear that you are a model employee. I have no reason not to take you at your word, or to assume otherwise. My question is this. As a model employee with a work ethic such as yours, one that seems to be above reproach. How could a policy that is written for, and then enforced, and done for the pupose of correcting the poor habits of those sub standard employees possibly affect you?
Also, your opinions regarding an employees right to continued employment seem to contridict one another. On one hand it's your belief that you, and your co-workers should be employeed under the doctrine of an "at will employee". In the state of Oklahoma there are many employees that do in fact work, at the will of thier employers, or thier superiors That may workout fine for the model employee like yourself. For your sake I hope you never work for someone, or more importantly become subordinate to someone, who can fire you, just because they can. Maybe they don't like your hair, or they don't like your church, or maybe they have a relative that really wants or needs your job.
You then state that a employer should be able to fire a piece of crap employee, that is of course if the employer can "show" them to actually be pieces of crap. Now we're talking about working under the doctrine of "just cause" as it pertains to discipline and/or termination. Sure there must be some form of documintation to support the claims of a bad employees infractions, and poor work performence. If that is done, and done honestly, and fairly, then by all means fire thier ass.
