Unless you have protection under the circumstances pursuant to the terms of an employment contract or unon agreement, then you have no claim here. The fact is that most work relationships are "at will". This means that a company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit (absent some form of legally actionable discrimination). Accordingly, a worker can be fired for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice.
