I suspect that it is not what happened at your previous job but the fact that you did not declare it when you applied for this one.
If that is the case then that counts as gross misconduct and could even be classed as gaining a pecuniary advantage by deception which is a criminal matter.

Nearly all state are "at-will" employment, which means unless you have a contract with the company, you can leave at any time without any reason or no reason at all and the employer can terminate you at any time for any reason or no reason at all.
What is going to come into play is whether or not the terminated to your just cause as if you are terminated for just cause, you cannot collect unemployment compensation.
Ideally, an employer should meet their due diligence requirements and thoroughly investigate everyone prior to hiring them, but this is not always the case. However, they still have the right to verify all information on your application in the future.
If you lied on your application about being fired from a previous job, it would be grounds for termination. If you indicated you were fired and they are just now asking questions and used that as the SOLE reason to fire you, then if the contest your unemployment you will likely win.

Hummmmm..if you already disclosed that information on the application and they hired you anyway..that seems wrong.
To hide information or try to cover it up on a resume or application and the Company finds out later can lead to termination of employee that is on most contracts.
It could be they are looking to downsize and decided to look for anything on employees that they could find to let them go.
I recently witnessed this at a company I worked for and they too let me go for I was the last group hired and kept the ones that were there longer even though they were always late, slow,talking and calling out.
It just doesn't pay anymore to be a good employee that a company does not appreciate.

Some states have laws whereby an employer can terminate you for any reason at any time. Check if you are in one of these states. You also may have signed something when you were hired that said something to the same effect.

Does sound like they were looking for an excuse but depends on the jurisdiction- which country/ city / state do you work in? Employee rights differ from state to state and between countries.

Sorry yet you refused to artwork scheduled shifts. You refused to artwork even however that they had issued you a sparkling examine. you don't get to assert i won't be in a position to artwork till the examine clears. you will have worked and if the recent examine bounced then you certainly've gotten taken criminal action. you positioned the cart in the previous the horse and now you're out of a activity. My suggestion is to activity hunt.

They are looking for a reason to get rid of you. If you are innocent/ never convicted, the reason they're citing is wrong. Keep your nose clean and find a decent lawyer to fight your battle. It'll be a long one.

Call the National Labor Relations Board. They will try to resolve it.

Absolutely this is wrong. This is something they should have checked into when they hired you. You need to file this in court.
