2 Lawyer Answers

A: Assuming you

1) Have no written contract

2) Have no union with collective bargaining agreement

3) Have no civil service protection - you do not work for a government body

Then you are at will. Your employer needs no reason to fire you UNLESS

**** You can prove some type of discrimination which you have not specifically in detail described with what type of proof you could get.

If you do not understand any of the above best thing would be to:

1) Consult with an employment lawyer for 1 to 2 or even 3 hours.

2) Find a new job before you possibly lose this job. It's easier to get another job while you still have this one. Good luck.
