Maine is one of eight states with no exception to "at will" employment law, which allows employers to fire employees without citing a reason. Employees can file complaints with the Maine Human Rights Commission if they believe they have been discharged for reasons of gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation or age. But if the employer is not found to have fired the employee for any of those reasons, the action is legal.

Part I of this article reviews the current landscape of available business forms and details the many ways in which the majority owners of a business can take advantage of the minority owners.

Employment has shifted from a relatively stable and secure relation in which shareholders bore the risks associated with the market and firms buffered the risks vis-à-vis workers to a dynamic relation characterized by employment insecurity and individual responsibility.
