Legal Question in Employment Law in California

My son (51) was terminated yesterday. He has been a Regional Sales Manager for 17 years. A good manager and well liked by his eight representatives under him. Good job performances, great production. He was terminated because he was hiring a new representative without running it by his boss first. There is a personal issue between the new employees past boss and my son’s boss. I believe my sons boss has a chip on his shoulder and is taking it out on my son. I have advised my son to think about legal advice. What do you think?

Considering the fact that he also actually did something unauthorized as well, he has no legal recourse.
