Unless this action constitutes some form of legally actionable discrimination/retaliation (which it does not appear to) or violates a union agreement/employment contract, you have no claim here. In an "at will" employment relationship, a company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit, including those surrounding a suspension and subsequent termination.
