Re: case law on wrongfull termination involving the internet

This is the toughest " employment at will " state in the Union. The reason you cannot find any criteria is that there need be none. If the employer wakes up one morning and decides that he or she does not like the employee, they are toast......history..... bye bye. Absent a collective bargaining agent, and a contract, or an employment contract, or public employment of certain types, you have NO rights to your job in New York, with the narrow exceptions of the antidiscrimination laws. Shocked? See your legislators. We have been unsuccessfully trying to change this for over a hundred years.
