Was your treatment caused by some form of legally actionable discrimnation (i.e. due to your race, religion, disability, age, etc.)? Was your employer's action prohibited by the tems of a union agreement or employment contract? If not, then as an "at will" worker, your company was entitled to set the conditions of the workplace much as it saw fit. The fact is that an employee can be discharged for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice.
