The protection is bogus and that is the point. They didnt fire you for being in a wheelchair, they fired you for failing to deliver required materials to required personnel on time. Nevermind that it was only accessible through stairs.
This happens far more often than someone is protected.
At-Will = your employer can fire you at any time for any reason. It means no protections for the worker except for unemployement.
For any reason that isn’t specifically a protected class*
Although in practice that just means if they want to fire you for discriminatory reasons, they just don’t give a reason.
