Legal Question in Employment Law in Massachusetts

Mandatory Meetings

Can you be terminated for not being able to attend a ''mandatory meeting'', When I was hired I told them I would never be available to work on Saturday, when the meeting was posted for a Saturday morning, I told my supervisor I could not attend and was told ''mandatory'' meant you had to go. I only work on weeknights, if it was held on a weeknight I would be glad to go.
