What can I do about a wrongful termination?
I recently was a contractor and I worked for my employer through a contractor. My assignment was ended with no reason stated. In a Skype meeting, which are recorded, a manager stated the requisition was opened so the company could be bring me on board. I then applied to the position. About a month later my assignment was ended and no reason was stated; they just said they wanted to end the assignment. Given the fact that it was stated in a meeting that they were going to be me on board and then ended my assignment for
whatever reason, my contractor reached out but the employer did not respond. Do I have any recourse for them ending my assignment with my contractor?

Unless you have an employment contract or union agreement that affords you protection under the circumstances, you have no claim here. The fact is that most employment is "at will" which means that an employer can set the conditions of work much as it sees fit (absent some form of legally actionable discrimination).
