    They have employment rules, but I believe as they employee your main recourse would be to sue them. They don’t have a government entity like Employment New Zealand to hold the employer to account on the employee’s behalf.

        The DoL doesn’t have anything to do with unfair dismissal such as is reported in this case. In fact, a large proportion of US work contracts explicitly allow the employer to terminate the contract for any reason with no notice.

            There are employment rules though, right? Aside from wage disputes I mean, which in terms of law are more related to contract execution than employment rules. For cases specifically to do with employment rules, who enforces the rule? In other rich western countries exist entities like Employment New Zealand and Fair Work Australia to manage this as a primary function. The US doesn’t have one.
