Clayton Antitrust Act

The Clayton Antitrust Act (1914) is a United States law designed to strengthen the Sherman Antitrust Act (1890), which was passed to lessen the concentration of economic power in large corporations and combinations of business concerns. The Clayton Act was also designed to close loopholes in the Sherman Act that allowed companies to engage in activities that adversely affected competition but were not prohibited by the 1890 law.http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/history/A0844878.html http://www.infoplease.com/ce6/history/A0812484.html

Employment Contract

There are several different purposes for an employment contract, one being to show the employer’s right to fire an employee is limited. In most states within the United States, employers can terminate employment “at will,” meaning at any time. However, if there is an explicit contract that states the employee must stay with the business or company for a certain amount of time, then the employer cannot terminate the employee’s employment. Most states recognize verbal statements declared by an employer to be a binding contract. For example, an employer can say to an employee, “You’ll be here as long as you make at least a 10% profit for the company,” or something similar to that. That statement could create a binding contract of employment. However, this statement needs to be specific enough to be enforceable.http://employment.findlaw.com/employment/employment-employee-hiring/employment-employee-hiring-contract.html
