I have been working for a law firm out of Chicago for the last 7 years. I was recently let go from my job. They told me that my services were no longer wanted. I am a staunch conservative and very vocal about my opinions in the workplace. The firm which I won’t name is extremely liberal in their views and of course we have conflicting opinions but nothing I don’t believe could be worked out. When I was let go they told me “my services at the firm is no longer needed” and I would have less than a day to pack my items and leave the office. I know its because of my political views. I think I’m being discriminated because of my political views. I have answered questions on this site and now I need an answer. I’m very unfamiliar with discrimination law in the workplace. I am a paralegal. The issue is in Chicago, Illinois.

I’m not sure if Illinois is an at will state for employment. In any case this is something you should contact a discrimination lawyer about. As you already probably know you should contact a lawyer in the Chicago area. While I’m far from a conservative republican you also have certain rights!
