Hmmm. I had not meant to be insulting, but merely making the point that calling attention to unfairness in some employer-employee relationships is not only a poor reason to grant some people the privilege of being unfair to others, but that the unfairness is utterly trivial. I'm making a guess here, but I would bet Cerek would think the unfairness of losing the $500 would be preferable to the unfairness of her getting hit by a bus. In most places, she could file in small claims court and get back the money anyway -- most states require the employer to pay out the two weeks regardless of whether or not they walk you out the door immediately.

"Unfair" is just not a very strong argument, particularly when your solution to unfairness is more unfairness.
