earl, i'm not familiar with any federal laws protecting workers, except for anti-discrimination laws. if you're referring to more than that, please enlighten me.
as fro state laws, don't be fooled by what you found in PA. many states have very poor worker protections. for example, employers in many states can fire an employee for virtually any reason, because they are not required to have one. so although it might be illegal for a company to fire someone for, say, refusing to commit a crime, they can still fire you without justification. leaving it up to the worker to taking legal action, if they can make a solid case. this kind of employer power leads to many workers allowing their employer get away with a whole lot of things from which the law supposedly protects them. best, -chris _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list Biofuel@sustainablelists.org http://sustainablelists.org/mailman/listinfo/biofuel_sustainablelists.org Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Search the combined Biofuel and Biofuels-biz list archives (50,000 messages): http://www.mail-archive.com/biofuel@sustainablelists.org/
