> If he wasn't lying when he said he'd filed a claim with the National Labor Relations Board, his firing was illegal under current US law.

Only, as I understand, if it was in retaliation for the claim; firing for the memo, and any perceived hostile workplace effects it had, would not be illegal (and may actually contribute to avoiding liability for that conduct.)

Of course, if he made a claim it will be a disputed question of fact as to whether or not it was retaliation.
