The general rule of at-will employment does not apply to any of these situations. Employees who are involved in union organizing, report financial misconduct, or blow the whistle on illegal activities are protected by federal laws and regulations. Similarly, firing an employee because of their membership in a protected class (such as race, gender, or religion) is illegal under anti-discrimination laws. Therefore, all of the choices are correct.
