Yes, it is called the free enterprise system and sometimes a capitalistic system. This thread could go "political", if not careful, real quick. What apparently happen in this case was some folks accepting employment without any assurance of future employment when the facility became operational. You do have to "feel" for the employees and perhaps they were "duped" by this employer. There are certain Federal Labor Laws that sometimes come into play when employees are fired without cause but that is beyond the scope of this thread. You do hear of a lot of unfair labor practices these days----it happens especially in times of high unemployment.
