My contract from a working agency and company was terminated and i was given no warning?

So I was working for this company
through a agency for about 8 or 9
months and I work through the whole
week however Thursday I received a call
from the agency of course I couldn’t
call back and when I did they were
close for the rest of the day. So
knowing on Friday that I wouldn’t go to
work because I had a doctor appointment
I received a call from the agency to
find out I was no longer needed and was
terminated apperantly the company raids
I had a additute and I’m no longer
allow to be in the building and I’m to
return my id to the agency and pick up
my check there too. Any reason why I
wasn’t warned? Or told? What action of
mine displayed hostile behavior? If it
was my expression of speech aren’t they
violating my constitutional rights?
Please I need help with advice and
guidance? Thank you.

Did you have an employment contract or union agreement that prohibited your termintion without notice? Did your treatment constitute some form of legally actionable discrimination? If not, then your discharge was legal. The fact is that most employment is "at will", which means that a company can set the conditions of the workplace much as it sees fit. This includes dismissing an employee for any reason or no reason at all, with or without notice.
