Just Cause: What it is and what it does.

Just Cause is essential for fairness in the workplace. It protects employees from arbitrary or unfounded disciplinary action and those employees know this. This will lift the the morale, spirits, and attitudes of the employees and thereby create a more productive workplace.

Just Cause actually legitimizes disclipline in the eyes of the employees and takes the emotion out of an otherwise emotionally charged decision and substitutes fairness, reason, and order.

Just Cause is consistent with the American values of due process and being innocent until proven guilty. If it works for the Constitution of the United States it should do pretty well in the workplace. Oh yeah, it has worked in the workplace for decades prior to a certain governor taking away so many worker rights.

There will be a Just Cause seminar on February 12, 2013 at Kristens Riverwalk in Stevens Point, WI at 5:15 pm. We will introduce the idea of Just Cause and what we can do to make Just Cause part of our policies, handbooks, and ordinances.
