The attorney at a prestigious and highly paid law firm gives a lecture on the "Role of Public Policy " in employment litigation. In other words, don't come crying to to him if the Government or Big Buisness violate your rights. Mr. Morales calls it an "erosion of the traditional employment-at-will doctrine by various legal theories which have developed."
The vagueness or--as some have called it--the "elasticity" of the public policy concept has been recognized by the courts. In the Palmateer v. International Harvester Co., the court noted "there is no precise definition of the term. In general, it can be said that public policy concerns what is right and just and what affect the citizens of the state collectively." Some have even gone so far as to describe the concept as "perhaps the most expansive and widely comprehensive phrase known to the law."
