Legal Question in Employment Law in California

At Will does not mean they can discriminate or fire for the wrong given reason
At Will does not mean they can discriminate or fire for the wrong given reason. Or does it? Can an employer be breaking law for firing a Hispanic employee, when a White employee did same offense twice, and not even reprimanded. Also in past have followed a progressive policy of discipline and in this instance went from suspension to termination. Also if during disciplinary meeting employee had requested representation by co-worker in lieu of Management using HR as witness and was blatantly denied request but continued meeting and bogus accusations. What if it is found that this is a pretext and really retaliation for employee having again discussed with Manager objection to unfair and biased treatment of others and other unlawfull violations. These complaints have well documented paper trail.

the at will employment law does not protect an employer from illegal discrimination.
