If you live in a right to work state, then you have the right to chose whether or not you join a union and pay dues. You cannot be fired for refusing to join a union. It does not mean that you can't be fired. However, if you feel that your termination was illegal, then you should consult an employment attorney.

Is it legal to terminate someone that is looking for other employment?
Whether or not it is legal or illegal to terminate an employee for any reason depends on which state you are in. Some states such as Florida, have fire at will. In Florida an employer can terminate an employee for any reason whatsoever. Be careful of what you sign. Get something from your employer. The only thing you might be able to sue him for is slander if he does not watch what he says! In some other states, workers have far more rights. Since most workers have feelers out most of the time, it probably would be difficult for a boss to fire a person for having a feeler out unless he was in a fire at will state.

Can an employee terminate your employment for a criminal background check that was done after being employed for 18 months and attending school there especially if they knew when they hired you?
It depends on the state law or statute where the employment occurs. For example, in Texas, the law is wide open for employers, in that an employer needs no more reason to terminate an employee than that they want to. In other words, in Texas, an employer does not need any reason to terminate you. Of course it is a two-way street, in that an employee is free to leave at any time, for cause, or just because he wants to. This may not be true in the state where you are employed.

Yes, you can be terminated from a job for any justifiable reason.

Unfortunately, it is usually not difficult for an employer to come up with a plausible reason to discharge an employee in order to circumvent discriminatory practice laws.
