Thing is, a company can fire someone that's non-unionized for any reason (or no reason at all) as long as they provide the appropriate severance and provided it's not a protected ground under human rights.
I could fire someone because I don't like stinky Edmonton Oiler fans (and who would blame me) and it just comes down to how much I pay them.
The fact that they said they had budgetary constraints may or may not be true and even if you hadn't signed a release, doesn't really mean anything.
