They have employment rules, but I believe as they employee your main recourse would be to sue them. They don’t have a government entity like Employment New Zealand to hold the employer to account on the employee’s behalf.
No, you would file a complaint with the Department of Labor. https://www.worker.gov/actions-whd-claim/
You might do a little more research next time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Department_of_Labor

The DoL doesn’t have anything to do with unfair dismissal such as is reported in this case. In fact, a large proportion of US work contracts explicitly allow the employer to terminate the contract for any reason with no notice.
That is not because the United States does not have a government entity to hold employers accountable on the behalf of the employees, but because dismissal such as is reported in this case would not be illegal at the federal level.
There are employment rules though, right? Aside from wage disputes I mean, which in terms of law are more related to contract execution than employment rules. For cases specifically to do with employment rules, who enforces the rule? In other rich western countries exist entities like Employment New Zealand and Fair Work Australia to manage this as a primary function. The US doesn’t have one.
It depends on the rule. For example, The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 and Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 are enforced by The Wage and Hour Division of the United States Department of Labor. Rules relating to workplace health and safety are enforced by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration.
