The fact is that, as a general rule, a worker can be terminated for any reason or no reason at all. That is unless they have protection such an action under the terms of an employment contract or union agreement. In an "at will" work relationship, a company can set the conditions of employment much as it sees fit, absent some form of legally actionable discrimination.
