Legislation typically is the result of initiative and advocacy by groups interested in particular issues. The legislative list of wrongful discharge provisions in this jurisdiction obviously indicates evidence of employer retaliation against employees in a variety of situations that employee groups have brought, forcefully, to the Council's attention. We cannot say from this diverse list, however, that the legislature is perfectly satisfied with the law as is. Legislative inaction in one or more particular areas does not necessarily signify a legislature's endorsement of the status quo.
