Under the laws of all states in this country one's employment is terminable at the will of the employer absent any issues of discrimination based upon being a member of a protected class. From what you have written, it seems that all you can do is make a claim for unemployment benefits.
To be on the safe side you should consult with a labor law attorney about your matter and/or a representative with your local department of labor.

Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
