Unless your discharge violated the terms of a union agreement or employment contract, then I'm afraid that you have no legal claim here. The fact is that as an "at will" worker, your company could have fired you for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice. Bottom line, it could have set the conditions of your employment much as it saw fit (absent some form of legally actionable discrimination).
