Right to Work laws, despite the name makes pretty much any firing legal. Unless an employer says something like "You are my least favorite race and for that reason I'm firing you" they're in the clear.

"Right to work" is an anti union provision and has nothing to do with being fired.

You might be thinking of "at will employment" - which is the case in 49 of 50 states.
