*416GILLETTE, J.
This action for damages involves a city employee’s claim that he was wrongfully terminated in retaliation for circulating a petition protesting a work safety policy. The circuit court directed a verdict against the employee. The Court of Appeals reversed the judgment of the circuit court, holding that firing petitioner for circulating the petition would violate petitioner’s right to free speech under the federal constitution.1 Shockey v. City of Portland, 100 Or App 166, 785 P2d 776 (1990). We reverse in part and affirm in part the decision of the Court of Appeals.
