FYI, in most states, for most jobs, in most situations, you can be fired for pretty much any reason or no reason at all. If you are interested in workers' rights, please support collective action for labor and politicians that support workers' rights.

My brother-in-law is 24 years old, autistic and worked at the local grocery store. He was in the union. One time, he made a stupid joke about “juicy melons” he was physically holding to a female co-worker.
She claimed sexual harassment and he was immediately fired. No investigation, no support from the union.
There was no third party witness, just he said-she said. Don’t think unions are there to protect you.
His mother also works at the same store in a different department. Didn’t matter.
The mob had judged him expeditiously. The poor kid has never even kissed a girl.
