QUESTION
Can my boss fire me without notice because he sold the business?

More details to this question:
My boss told the guys in the mechanic shop that they will be moving soon, but no to tell the gas station crew (me), because there is no gas station in the new location so he won't need us. My guessing, is that he will wait until the last moment. This way his business will keep running. After seven years of being his most loyal employe this is not fear. Can I sue him for this?

It may not be fair, but unless you have an employment agreement (it could come from an employee handbook or even be oral) which provides that he is required to give you a certain amount of notice of termination, there is nothing unlawful about it.
