Technically it’s covered by Article 24 of the declaration of human rights: which states the following:

“Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay.”

So really you could argue that you need a rest.

No American court is going to hold an American company who fired (presumably) an American who (presumably) works on American soil liable under that. You'd be better off looking for local statutes that offer protections.

Once again, the UDHR is not legally binding in any way.
