So all those living paycheck to paycheck should just be screwed?

I think your views come from a point of privilege.

It's not a matter of my view. The people you describe are only screwed if:

- they have no savings or access to credit

AND

- they get fired on short notice

AND

- they can't get another job

I'm not sure that making the employer fire them with a longer notice period, given that they can't get another job, means they won't be screwed. Therefore, I don't think there is any utility in so restricting the employer.

Not having savings is bad and dangerous. That's not caused by labor law.

What kind of jobs can you find on a single day's notice? Abusive gig work only. Where I live the notice period is three months. I don't think you can imagine how nice it is to not have to worry about being fired on the spot, and when it happens you know you will have time to sort it out.

Jobs should serve the people.
