The US has extremely strong labor laws in favor of the employer.

My personal favorite one is where under at-will employment, either party can end the relationship at any time, which generally translates to:

At any time:

the company is free to simply make do with one fewer person

and

the employee is free to simply make do without affordable health/dental/vision insurance, a pay check, a retirement account, and other such niceties.

Great deal. Very balanced and fair.
