Is this action prohibited by the terms of a union agreement, employment contract or company policy? Does this treatment constitute some form of legally actionable discrimination? If not, then you can be fired for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice. This is called "at will" employment. Bottom line, your employer can set the conditions of the workplace much as it sees fit.
