OPINION
PAGE, Justice.
Appellant, Michael Obst, filed suit against his former employer, Respondent, Microtron, Inc., for retaliatory discharge1 in violation of Minnesota’s whistle-blower statute, Minn.Stat. § 181.932, subd. 1(a) (1998).2 The matter proceeded tó trial and the jury found in favor of Obst. Microtron then moved for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, or in the alternative, a new trial, both of which the trial court denied. On appeal, the court of appeals reversed based on its conclusion that Obst failed to establish a violation of the whistle-blower statute. We affirm.
