Employment-at-will or just cause: the right choice.

Abstract

In adopting personnel practices, human service managers and agency boards frequently must choose between two fundamentally different policies--employment-at-will or just cause. An analysis of four union discharge cases illustrates how arbitrators apply the principles of just cause and due process in discipline situations. By supporting a voluntary arbitration model in the human service organizations, managers, social service unions, and the profession can promote participation in decision making and workplace justice.
