Get injured off the job, in some workplaces you can lose your job.

4. Nationally The GOP Is Installing A Right To Work For Less As "Work At Will" Becomes More Entrenched.

Now that there is virtually no enforcement of our labor laws in many states. Try to get stolen pay and you will find out that it is now a lost cause now that GOP austerity has resulted in the abolishment of wage and labor enforcers. It is bad for business. And stolen wages now are part of business policy and practice.

And that is just a start. As far as injury is concerned on or off the job, you are pretty much finished if the injury is serious enough to keep you off the job or unable to perform your tasks. Since I retired in 1998 the situation for workers is so bad that job security is in critical condition. There is none.

"Work at will" is the law of economics in the new economy. The way it works either worker or employer can break the employment contract. The problem is that the employer holds ALL the power in just about every situation.

That is why a worker has to consider their outside activities and assess the risk of injury. The worker is totally unprotected now by ANY sickness or injury no matter how minor.

Even if you could find a lawyer you are not likely to win and the victory would yield little money. Right now you are very unlikely to find a lawyer or friendly court these days either. Plus you will be faced with years even decades of litigation with endless delays.

I am sure as we speak that the GOP is pushing legislation that will make the plaintiff pay the expenses if they lose. That is called "tort reform".
