Under the laws of all states in this country is is somewhat difficult for an employer to terminate an employee legally who is on long term disability. One allowable reason is when the employer's business is not doing well financially and cuts need to be made as to employees.
I suggest that you may want to consult with a labor law attorney and/or a representative with your local department of labor about your matter for guidance.
