Honestly, This is not a legal reason to fire someone. They have to give you a reason for the termination. Depending on the reason that they give you, you might have a civil case against your employer. They may say that they are doing lay-offs and that is why they terminated you. If you were not doing anything wrong I dont see a reason to terminate you, although it has been done to me twice before.

Where I live, you are employeed "At will". This means that the employer can terminate you for whatever. It's weird that they didn't give you a reason. If it wasn't your fault you got fired...you can file for unemployement.
Also, I believe it's illegal to fire someone over the phone. Just saying.

Depending on the laws of the state you live in, they can fire you if they dont like your eye color. That is why unions are in place. Sometimes the only good thing about a union is job security. Even in a union though, you can still get fired-but if it is without just cause, the union will get your job back with back pay.

Generally speaking, yes they can. Its called Employment at will. You can quit without reason or notice, and they can terminate you without reason or notice unless there is a contract or some kind of an agreement involved

If you hire on for "at will" employement, then yes they can fire you for no reason. You would have signed a paper for this when you hired on. A lot of employers are doing this now.

If you are still in your probationary period, yes. If you have been there for more than 3 months, they MUST give you a reason for the purpose of filling out applications and references for new jobs. You may have to request this by certified letter to the head office instead of directly to the manager.

Where do you live? If you live in a Red state, it is probably a "Right to work state"
Do you belong to a union?
How many are employed there?
Unemployment Insurance?
Check with your unemployment office and apply.They will guide you.Good Luck.

The state I live in can fire you without any kind of notice or reason.

It depends on the state. Some states can fire you without just cause. Its not fair but happens. Go to unemployment and ask what they can do for you!

Talk about icky!
It's wrong- but unfortunately they can. If you read your application, you would most likely see a clause where the company says it can terminate you without cause or notice.
