>But what if you get a bad letter of recommendation and sue about it?

This is trivial to solve: both former employer and employee sign the letter, declaring that information in it is full, correct and they have no objections. It would be much harder to sue if you previously agreed that the letter is ok for you.

A negotiated letter is worthless.

Depends on how you read it. There’s a big range of possibilities between „we won’t write bad things“ and „this person is a rock star“.
