      this is not right. At-will employment makes separation costs near zero for firms but prohibitive for workers. Lower wages, worse conditions

      As for the rights of firms, workers can't unilaterally negotiate contract provisions, so freedom of contract doesn't exist in labor mkts

      decline of unions far predates R2W laws. They contributed but even in their heyday, < 40% private sector workers had unions

      For the past 36 hours I've had putative leftists arguing to me about how employers ought to have total dominion over employees' speech.

      yeah I saw your tweet & generally agree with underlying point, but key argument needs to be FOR worker protections not AGAINST firing Nazis

      Agree. However, insisting that even the most vile workers are due protections strengthens and universalizes the underlying principle.
