As a European, I never realized that this is allowed under US labor law. That is absolutely insane.

EDIT: some commentors have pointed out that the workers collect severance and unemployment --- I was not aware this is law in California, and that changes matters. I would, though, still find being suddenly out of a job fairly traumatic.
