U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 13-3326
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - Minneapolis
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Bright and Gruender, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Federal Rail Safety Act. On claim the railroad terminated
plaintiff in violation of the anti-retaliation provisions of the Act, the
district court did not err in granting the railroad summary judgment as
plaintiff failed to prove that he was terminated as a result of providing
information related to a safety or security condition; the company also
demonstrated that it would have discharged plaintiff whether or not he had
made unrelated reports that were activities protected by the Act.
