Legal Question in Employment Law in Virginia

I was terminated today because of an accusation by a retail customer that said he heard me refer to one of my employee's as a nigger. This did not happen. What can I do to either be reinstated or compensated for my lost employment. I was not given any names, I was only told that because of policy, I had to be "let go"

Unless you're protected from such summary termination by a contract

of employment or collective bargaining type of agreement, I regret

to report that you're likely without a remedy other than to request that

the "higher ups" in the management chain reconsider the company's

action and reinstate you.
