Did this action violate the terms of an employment contract or union/collective bargaining agreement? Did your treatement constitute some form of legally actionable discrimination? If not, then it was legal. The fact is that companies can set the terms of employment much as they see fit. This includes when and why to fire an employee. In fact, a worker can be discharged for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice.
