Did your discharge violate the terms of a union agreement or employment contract? Did it constitute some form of legally actionable discrimination (which you did not indicate to be the case)?. If not, then your discharge was legal. The fact is that companies can set the condiitons of the workplace much as they see fit. This is known as "at will" employment.
