Went to HR yesterday; complained boss harassing, demeaning behavior; was fired today.
Boss has history of this behavior; another peer also went to HR to complain of his treatment. HR rep stated they have "heard alot of noise about him lately." Other documented instances involving other employees. When I discussed with HR said they would mull it over and this rep stated had not heard anything about my boss before. Which was hard to believe. Do I have a retaliation claim?

There is not enough information to answer your question. What type of harassing behavior were you reporting? Did you make a written report? What did your employer say was the basis for your termination? You should speak with an employment attorney. There are limited grounds for retaliation claims and they are dependent on the specifics of each situation.
