Legal Question in Business Law in Oregon

When is an employer an employer and when can they ''fire'' contracted workers?

Company A contracts with temp agency; temp agency places in in Company A; A pays the temp agency, who then writes out my check in its name. Company A dismisses me without contacting the temp agency first. Can Company A do that? If they have the power to dismiss, aren't they the true employer? Can they fire the contracted worker unfairly and not have to be face lawsuits over unfair dismissals?
