Yes, the employer can fire you. But your work comp benefits should not be affected--they continue for as long as you remain injured from your work-related job. Feel free to call if you have questions.

It depends on whether or not the reason for the termination violates your union contract (if any) or any of several federal and state laws such as ADA, disability discrimination, or retaliation for exercising your rights under the PA Workers' Comp. Act as an exception to employee at will-wrongful discharge exception.
