wrongfully terminated

My husband and I worked for a small business and a new company policy was made that married couples could not be working for same company and my husband was terminated. Other employees which this applies to as well were not terminated. My husband has not missed work or been late and has had no altercation at or pertaining to his job. What can we do?

The fact is that not all employees need be treated the same or even fairly. That is unless the reason for their differing treatment has to do with their race, religion, nationality, age (over 40), gender, disability or the like. Also, such an action cannot breach the terms of an employment contract or union agreement.
