Unless your treatment violates the terms of an employment contract or union agreement then as an "at will" worker you have no claim here. The fact is that absent some for of legally actionable discrimination, a business can set the terms of work much as it sees fit. Therefore, an employee can be terminated for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice.
