There is probably nothing that you can do. Unless you have a union agreement/employment contract that prohibited your dismissal under the circumstances or your treatment constituted some form of legally actionable discrimination, you have no claim here. The fact is that a company can set the conditions of the workplace much as it sees fit. This includes who to fire and why. In fact, in an "at will" employment relationship a worker can be discharged for any reason or no reason at all.
