Did you have an employment contract or union agreement that provided firing you without a warning? Did your termination in this manner violate company policy? Was your discharge the result of some form of legal discrimination? If not, then your firing was perfectly permissable under the law. In an "at will" employment relationship an employer can set the terms and conditions of the workplace as it sees fit; this includes firing an employee for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice.
