Legal Question in Employment Law in Kansas

Bad Faith Contract

I was working in Phoenix as a contract engineer on a long term contract. I was made an offer through another contract firm for employment at an aerospace company in Wichita, KS. I accepted the offer and was sent a contract that included the rate and travel expenses. I signed and returned the contract. I did a drug screen test for them. Though I asked to give my current client company two weeks notice, the new client insisted the job was urgent and that I give only a week notice.

I reported for work on time on the Tuesday following Labor Day, only to be told that I was no longer needed.

I was told by the client company's human resources representive that they had changed their mind and all new contracts were cancelled the Friday before Labor Day. So I and twelve other contract engineers were left without jobs.

I didn't even recieve the travel reinbursement.

My contract is the usual agreement used in the contract industry. A month later, I am still unemployed in a very tight market. Do I have any recourse?
