Not if you were simply responding to a subpoena, and not actively volunteering. But if they said it was for performance, attitude or any reason other than the deposition, then you would have to prove your allegation. If you think you can, feel free to contact me to discuss your rights and remedies.
Re: Classaction lawsuit
Terminating an employee for cooperating with any legal process is an unlawful retaliation. Of course, the challenge is proving that that that's the reason you were terminated. If you believe you have some or sufficient evidence to support this, it might be worth pursuing.
