Right-to-work just means that an employer is banned from requiring union dues to be paid as a condition of employment.
I beleive he meant employment at will
(which exclude)
An employer may not retaliate against an employee:
For exercising statutory rights by complaining about discrimination;
For filing a workman's compensation claim;
For union activities;
For complaining about environmental violations;
For making an OSHA complain; or
For whistle-blowing activities.
You cant be discriminated based on race,sex, national origin, age, religion or disability.
Im missing where "race" is defined as non-white.
Title VII does not define race.

1. there's no such thing as reverse discrimination. It's all discrimination.

They actually define it:
“Reverse” Race Discrimination: Title VII prohibits race discrimination against all persons, including Caucasians.(22) A plaintiff may prove a claim of discrimination through direct or circumstantial evidence. Some courts, however, take the position that if a White person relies on circumstantial evidence to establish a reverse discrimination claim, he or she must meet a heightened standard of proof.(23) The Commission, in contrast, applies the same standard of proof to all race discrimination claims, regardless of the victim’s race or the type of evidence used.(24) In either case, the ultimate burden of persuasion remains always on the plaintiff.(25)

reverse discrimination does exist, but hard to prove.

First of all, what company is this? Second, find out who your friend's boss talked to or whoever made the final decision (if he was white or some other race). If he is not caucasian then you could have a case on your hands.
Keep in mind most company's make you sign a contract that says they can fire you for any reason at any time (although that is there to protect them and is a mild scare tactic).

It seems to me like race wouldn't even have to be an issue here. Ignoring the race of the parties involved, it only stands to reason that the new kid should not be paid more when he has no college degree, and no experience. When his trainer is getting paid less, there is something wrong with that.
..."Now imagine he's white." That just sweetens the pot on a lawsuit, but probably doesn't have to be racial for it to be discriminatory.

Actually, yes it does. They have every right to hire an unqualified idiot and pay him twice as much as they pay you. The law doesn't care. They just can't do it for discriminatory reasons.

wayyy back in the 70's, i went from lsu to ibm.
in 74, ibm and every company in america had to hire many minorities to avoid the label of discrimination and get in federal trouble.
if this large branch is all white, it is already breaking the law. they will hire to make the equity. the large company is probably in more trouble than they want, and they will have/get any excuse they need to the racial equity.
you should have see the balancing of the hireing in the 70's 80's. maybe it was unfair for us white guys, but, wow, before that there were no blacks/minorities.
i'm not taking sides, b/c it all equaled out for me over the last 40 years.
if your friend and his boss are anything like you, well, heck, maybe they said the wrong thing and might have been unsupportive of the corporate direction.
you know, you always have the freedom to quit your job.
as a retired secondary teacher, i always advise that it is more important to follow your muse.
i was ticked off at the equalization, but, i went into acting. i have had an incredibly adventurous and exciting life.
quit fighting battles, quit looking for battles, follow your dream. there will always be others who don't.
to thine own self be true.
