Stevenson v. HOLLAND-BINKLEY COMPANY

ORDER

Russell Stevenson (Employee) appeals the trial court’s summary judgment in favor of the Holland-Binkley Company (Employer) on Employee’s petition alleging wrongful discharge. Employee asserts that the trial court erred in granting summary judgment because there were genuine issues of material fact in dispute. Specifically, Employee contends that Employer discharged him in retaliation for filing several workers’ compensation claims and that Employer’s stated reason for termination — ie., violation of company policy by making personal phone calls at work — -was a pretext.
