Employment at-will with exceptions is the standard doctrine for employers throughout the U.S. However, the state of Montana did something different by enacting the Montana Wrongful Discharge from Employment Act. This state law essentially eliminates at-will employment in the state of Montana. Employers must now show just cause to terminate all employees.

Do you think the employment at-will with exceptions standard provides sufficient protections for workers? Or do you think the other states should follow Montana’s lead and require just cause for all terminations?
