Brad Lander wants to outlaw firing workers without ‘just cause’ — even though he did it

City Comptroller Brad Lander is cheerleading a new bill that would prohibit Big Apple businesses from firing employees without just cause – but critics say he doesn’t practice what he preaches.

This is the same ass sucking hypocrite that wanted to defund police but demanded police protection when elected.

I am offended, but not surprised by whatever antibusiness bill this loser is promoting.

Why on God's green earth does the comptroller even need a "Director of Visual Content" and a "Director of Digital Content".

[butlerweave]

so fire him ,LOL

[D Rider]

How Fascist of him.

[Eleutheria5]

What he preaches sucks in too many ways to list.

Perhaps he needs jobs for his children and/or significant other.

What’s the typical New Yorker that voted for this a-hole like? Is he a lazy ass employee and afraid of losing his job? Or is he a hard working employee that doesn’t want to work with lazy asses and prefers his employer to fire lazy asses so his employer can be profitable and stay in business so he has continued employment? I guess the latter requires evaluating consequences with two levels of indirection. That’s beyond any moron that would live in NYC.

Let's take everything out of the free market. What prices you can charge, what products you can sell, who you can hire and fire....

..should work out well...

Does “Just ‘cause I want to and I own the business.” count as a just cause?

[HYPOCRACY]

If the employee is a white guy it does.

.......I’ve run/owned a few businesses in the past 50 years. I guarantee you if you can’t lay off people to control your cash flow your only option is to CLOSE UP and quick. Cash in your checking account does not grow on trees.

I sort of recall France awhile back having a rule making firing employees difficult. What happened next is employers stopped hiring. Unemployment was high. I don’t know if thats happening now, but if you make it difficult for a company to fire employees, they will not hire as many.
