Dear Oregonian,
An employer does not have to be correct when it decides to suspend or fire an employee; it only has to avoid illegal conduct. If the employer believes you did something it does not like, it can fire you, so long at it was not protected activity, such as complaining to OSHA about safety issues, filing a workers' compensation claim, objecting to sexual harassment, etc.
If the real problem is a personality dispute with a coworker, then the employer can decide who it likes better, again, so long as it is not involve protected activity.
