That depends on what you are being fired for, if you are being fired for being out of work, that is illegal, if however your employer were to fire you for reasons unrelated to the medical leave, that could be legal depending on the reasons.

What are the disibility discrimation act laws in relation to protecting an employee who has developed serious back pain to the point of seeing an OHN at the comp and the company trying to fire them?

An employer need not accommodate an employee's alleged disability until the EMPLOYEE initiates a request for a specific accommodation, and provide medical evidence of the impairment. THEN, the employer decides if the impairment can be accommodated, either the way the employee suggests, or any other way which is not costly or violates a union contract. An employer attempting to fire an employee does not necessarily violate ADA. Back pain is not disability. ADA disability is a permanent condition which substantially impairs a major life activity: seeing, hearing, walking, talking, eating, sleeping.
