You own a factory. Your employees don't. There's a power imbalance in the employment relationship.
Most people (who don't own things like factories) need a regular, predictable, stable income to survive, and finding new employment is not always easy.
Therefore, people in most developed countries have agreed that by taking on an employee, it is contingent on the employer to provide some guarantee of stability. This is borne out by laws restricting firing in many cases, and requiring severance pay in the event.
The USA is an aberration in this regard - even the workers seem to value the rights of the employers far above the rights of the employees. I'm not sure why this is.
