Case: Individual Employment Rights/Retaliation (Cal. Ct. App.)

The California Court of Appeal granted Los Angeles Department of Water and Power’s petition for writ review and annulled a Workers’ Compensation Appeals Board’s decision that found the employer violated state law by terminating an occupational health nurse in retaliation for filing a workers’ compensation claim, ruling that the board’s determination was unreasonable because it ignored relevant evidence showing the nurse was terminated for poor job performance that predated her workplace injury rather than for filing a workers’ compensation claim.
