    Notifying laid-off workers. Is it enough? - By John Atlas, The Star-Ledger, NJ
    Finally, the way the law stands now, unless you're in a union, or have a written employment contract, you can be laid off for no reason at all. That's right. After 40 years of loyal service the boss can fire you without any good reason. So whether it's 60 days notice or 90 days notice, there's an awful lot to fix to make the American worker safe from the trauma of mass lay-offs. The notification act is good, but only as a band-aid.
