Re: Is it wronful termination
In CA, employees are at-will, which means they can be fired for no reason, or any reason so long as it's not an illegal reason like discrimination or whistle-blowing. If your husband's employer, for instance, is singling out people over 50 for termination, or Latinos, etc., that's illegal. If he's worked there forever, there might be an implied agreement that he can only be fired for good cause. If you think he fits in one of these categories, please drop me an e-mail with your info and we can discuss this further.
