Standard Protocol
Standard Protocol in most Private Business, if you do like, or feel dissatisfy in your employment, some place you have 14 days period to resign. It called “Work At Will” they can change or terminate you at Will. Unless there are Laws in place to help protect you in the private work force.
But since we are seeing the same type of behavior emanating from our Government here, what say ye of the private ones. They too will follow along the same path.
We calling on our Government to respect Labour Rights and put in place measure both Public and Private so that our people can work in an environment with the employer and employee are both satisfy.
Taste ha that
