Tennessee is a right to work state so she could have been fired.

Right to work has nothing to do with it - RTW is about unions and being forced to join in order to hold the job. The term you were looking for is "at will employment" regarding both the employer and employee being free to act "at will" to continue or terminate the employment relationship. "At will" means the employer can release without notice and the employee can leave the job without notice.

True and good point. However in a non RTWS there is usually a grievance procedure that this woman could have used (union or not). This is not available in right to work states unless it deals with federal discrimination law.
