Is this legal in the US?

  Everywhere except maybe Montana, the only non-at-will state. edit: Not even Montana. At-will for the first six months; fire for any legal reason. Protections kick in after that.

    Even if the Montana non-at-will provisions kicked in immediately, would it matter? Non-at-will usually just means that that the company can only discharge people for categories of reasons enumerated in the law. In at-will states the company can terminate for any reason except for reasons that are specifically forbidden by law. The acceptable reasons to discharge people in a non-at-will jurisdiction is likely to include reducing costs when the business is facing a downturn.
