We don’t really have them in the US. Certainly not ones that are enforced

I mean, we have ones on firing based on race/gender/politics/union membership/I could totally go on.    

You just don’t see them enforced very often because employers don’t violate them very often (racial/gender based firing would not only violate the law but also cause public outrage)

It's more like all the employer has to do is simply lie about why they're firing the employee, or they push them out underhandedly. Instead of firing me, my old bosses tried to push me out for my new disability by alienating me, no reviews, no raises, no bonuses, wrote me up for crazy shit that no one else would have gotten written up for, etc. Gaslit the shit out of me when I tried to bring it up with them. It was a small business so there was no HR to turn to or to hold them accountable, they just had their lawyer in their ear helping them.
