Unless you had protection against termnation under the terms of an employment contract or union agreement, then you were an "at will" worker. This menas that your employer could have fired you for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice. Accordingly, your employer was free to set the terms of your employment much as it saw fit (absent some for og legally actionable discrimination).
