Can employers stop you from leaving the premises during an unpaid lunch break?

I was terminated from my job after working for them for a year. I was written up twice over the course of my job. I did not receive any warnings or suspension. I was a server at a restaurant and the reason he gave me was my attitude was lacking and they had to remind me about little things not to do.

I have a long time employee that keeps on asking me to fire him in hope to get severance or termination pay. What are my options.

I was terminated early while being on a 6 months contract without notice. The employment agency called me right after finishing my shift at 6 pm to notify me that my services would no longer be required. I still had another month left on my contract. Was this fair? I disclosed my disability 2 months before my termination because I was calling in sick once a week, and therefore provided a medical note proving my disability and requesting accommodation. I can't seem to find any other reason for the termination. Please help.
