what united states labor laws affect redundancies?

probably none.  most US employment is employment-at-will, meaning they can let you go at any time (and you can leave at any time)

I have been made redundant in my position it means that your position is no longer going to be there, that means they can not hire any one else to do that particular job you were doing, if they do you can take them through legal proceedings and get some cash. If they do not hire any one and what they say is true you should get a payout some sort of severance pay. If you really want to find out the truth try calling WORK COVER their number is in the phone book, just speak to someone there and they will be able to point you in the right direction.

depends on the rules of the state you live in.  I would call your state department of labor and ask them.  That would be the easiest way to find the correct answer.

It is possible to lose your job on May 1 if you mean, "is it legal to fire us?" \n\nI don't think many employers *will* fire people for that, but I can guarantee you that that fear will cause the number of people participating in the boycott to be lower than it otherwise would, no matter how many people do decide to participate.\n\nThe economy will technically be affected, probably more in some sectors than others, but nothing will crash because of 1 day.

I think they're still subject to US labor laws since they're actually working in the US.\n\nThere are positions are are considered "exempt" from overtime.\n\n>>\nWhen Congress enacted the FLSA, it created an exemption from the minimum wage and overtime pay requirements for "any employee employed in a bona fide executive, administrative, or professional capacity or in the capacity of outside salesman." >>  From site below/Dept. of Labor.\n\nMany state laws have further refinements so you should check the Georgia state laws.\n\nThere are labor law attorneys who can help you navigate this area.

Yes. They have a right to replace a worker that is not committed to the business. Now, an employer cannot fire a National Guard or reserviist if he hired them knowing they were. But, if you decide while employed to join military, you're on your own.

The Fair Practices Employment Board can help you.  The laws are different in each state, and sometimes local laws.  \n\nMy husband was laid off while he was on vacation.  He came back from our trip, went to work, and found out he didn't work there anymore.\n\nWe are still trying to find out how to get the retirement benefits he earned!!

Each state has slightly different labor laws.  It would also depend if you are a minor or not.

the renumeration policies differ from company to company with regards to staff on probation whether or not the job is first job for you and whether or not you have any prior working experience related to the same field or not.\n\nBut strictly speaking and prevaling labor laws across the universe, the employeer is liable to pay salary to the employee during probation period.

i guess it would mainly be situations where something "took off" and the person in the job handling it is very overworked and the entity doesn't realize they need to hire help in that area.  For example if the number of students goes from 10 to 1000 the person who is handling student services is going to be overworked if management doesn't figure out this impact.  It also happens the other way - things have less to do (for example if military training in a certain area goes way down because they are phasing out that system) then sometimes a person is left handling it and essentially has nothing to do.  This is more of an impact on the organization because the person cannot contribute.

I don't think you'll have too many problems.\n\nHoward's new IR (Industrial Relations) laws have just come in, which means you can fire anyone at anytime without a good reason.

It really depends on what state you are in and their Human Resources law.  After that it depends on your company.  What state are you in?  What industry?  What type of job?

Keep records of every instance when the union fails to protect its members.\n\nThen call the NLRB (National Labor Relations Board).

The opposite happened.  Bosses are again reluctant to hire people because they can't fire them if they turn out to be poor workers because of the law.

Depending on what state you are in they can. You might check with the labor board in whatever state you are in.

If you were hired because you told them you were available for certain times, and , later, change your availability, you can not only be demoted, but could be laid off.  Just because someone else is getting days off that you would prefer does not mean this is not fair.  Perhaps they were hired under these hours of availability.  You may have been hired because they needed someone who was available for the days and/or hours you originally told them you would work.
