Without additional facts its impossible to know your exact employment status, but if you're an hourly employee, odds are you're considered an at-will employee. In this country at-will employees have very few rights.
If you employer is not scheduling you because of your age (40+), color, religion, national origin, sex, disability or veterans status, then you fall into a protected class. If not, it may be time to seek employment with an employer would will give you more hours.
