A company can set the conditions of work much as it sees fit (absent some form of legally actionable discrimination). This includes prohibiting a worker form outside employment. Accordingly, unless your husband has a union agreement or employment contract that gives him the right to hold a second job, he has no claim here. The fact is that a worker in an "at will" work relationship, can be terminated for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice.
