Case: Individual Employment Rights/Whistleblowing (C.D. Cal.)

A California federal district court denied Transdev Alternative Services, Inc.'s motion for summary judgment on whistleblower retaliation claims under California Labor law, and wrongful termination in violation of public policy by a driverless roadside assistance specialist who was terminated after reporting a dangerous street takeover incident to his supervisor, finding genuine disputes of material fact regarding whether his safety reporting constituted protected activity and whether the employer’s stated reasons for termination were pretextual.
