[lbo-talk] Four Ways to Fire a Frenchman

[Jerry Monaco]

Yes, yes.  The fact is that here in the U.S. I can be fired for being a
member of the Democratic party if the employer so chooses.  Of course the
laws vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.  But my recourse is mostly in
the courts, after I am fired, and mostly the argument in course is some
variation of a breach of contract claim.  This is what is called at-will
employment.  Gender, ethnic, racial, and religious discrimination is illegal
in the U.S., of course, but again all of my remedies are after the fact,
after I am fired.

I wonder why Pat Paulsen never ran for the Presidency of France?  Certainly,
he was more amusing than Chirac....  And possibly he was even more French
than Chirac.  I am sure we could have overcome that citizenship thing
somehow.
