The fact is that most employment is "at will", which means that an employee can be terminated for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice. That is unless doing so would violate the terms of any applicable employment contract or union agreement. Also, a worker's treatment must not be based on any form of legally actionable discrimination or retalaition. Otherwise, a company can set the terms of work, including employee dismissals, much as it sees fit.
