Which makes this whole thread hilarious, because so many people are implying wrongful termination, which, to your point, doesn't really matter. Unless of course the individual is a protected class.

Firing someone for belonging to a protected class is only one of many types of wrongful termination. There are several other types of illegal terminations.
There are also laws that prohibit employers from punishing employees in certain circumstances relating to organizing/petitioning when in regard to concerns about workplace issues.
For example:
>You have the right to act with co-workers to address work-related issues in many ways. Examples include: [...] joining with co-workers to talk directly to your employer, to a government agency, or to the media about problems in your workplace
