Can an employer fire you if you refuse to relocate to afghanistan?
Asked on Mar 15th, 2012 on Labor and Employment - Arizona
More details to this question:
I am currently employed by a company (of 5 employees in the US and several others in Afghanistan) that primarily writes proposals for contractors in Afghanistan. I received word today via email that our office in the united states is closing within 1 month and we were given only two options: either to relocate to Afghanistan or be terminated when the office finally closes. Is this legal? If so what rights do I have as employees in this situation?

Your employer has the right to decide where its offices will be located. If your office is closing, and you choose not to relocate to Afghanistan (where the job is), your employer has the right to terminate your employment.
