Abstract
The purpose of this article is to update the ten year survey of bills proposing employment termination law for private non-unionized employees (JIER vol. 1: pp. 93-104) with the data for 1991-1992 and to focus that data on the extent and nature of "just cause" provisions in proposed employment termination legislation. The results of the survey of 50 state legislatures found that 42 percent had seen the introduction of bills relating to termination and that eleven states (22%) considered bills that included a "just" or "good" cause standard. Of these seven states, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania had bills that were based on a version of the Uniform Law Commissioners Model Employment Termination Act.
