Colorado is not a right-to-work state, therefore, presumably, you have some rights under state law regarding wrongful job actions. If your job was protected by a labor agreement, or contract you can contact your union representative for assistance. If not, there is a state agency which you can complain to and you can, of course, bring suit against your ex-employer for damages for the alleged "wrongful" termination.
Well it sucks but there is only one "at cause state" and is Montana. Every other state in this country is an "at will state", meaning that an employer/employee have the will to work policy, at any given time they can terminate with/without a reason, although they don't have to have a reason file unemployement and see what reason they give them and from there an investigation will be done, but if you feel you have been discriminated against then you file a complaint with the EEOC, then file a lawsuit against employer. The only way to prove wrongful termination is discrimanation.
Employer liability insurance typically covers claims made by employees for work-related injuries or illnesses, including bodily injury.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this — it sounds incredibly frustrating and unfair. In cases like yours, wrongful termination can happen when an employer fires an employee based on false information, retaliation, or discrimination, rather than legitimate reasons related to job performance. If you were blamed for mistakes caused by other employees, especially if those employees were being protected by upper management, you may have a valid claim. California employment law, for example, prohibits termination that results from retaliation, discrimination, or any violation of public policy. Even if you are an "at-will" employee (meaning you can generally be fired for any reason or no reason), you cannot be legally fired for reasons that are unfair, retaliatory, or discriminatory. It would be a good idea to gather any documentation you have (emails, performance reviews, messages, witness statements) that show the true nature of the issues and your own performance. Consulting an experienced employment attorney is the next smart step — they can assess whether you have grounds to pursue a claim for wrongful termination, retaliation, or a hostile work environment. If you need guidance on what steps to take next, Employment Laws by Prestige Legal Solutions specializes in helping employees in situations just like yours. They can review your case confidentially and help you understand your rights.

In US states that do not have right to work laws and the employee decides he or she does want to join the union associated with the company, the employee must be terminated. The reason for that is that the Union and the company have agreed during their collective bargaining, that new employees must join the union. Conversely, in states that have right to work laws, the union cannot force an employee to be terminated.
