The law is a joke except in extreme circumstances, usually regarding some form of discrimination. Other than that, it's full of loopholes, and employers can do whatever they want, regardless of the impact it has on its employees. At least that's the case in white collar world. As an example, you can fire someone who's perfectly competant (but you don't like him/her for whatever reason), claim the position has been abolished, hire someone new for the old position, but give the old position a new name. Sure that's 'illegal', but you have to prove it actually occured, and there's the rub -- you can't.
