Werner v. New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc.

1 Citing case

  1. McClure v. American Family Mut. Ins. Co.

    29 F. Supp. 2d 1046 (D. Minn. 1998)   Cited 11 times
    Finding statements in the press release to be imprecise and lack specificity

    The protections provided by § 181.932 are therefore not available to plaintiffs. See Werner v. New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc., 824 F. Supp. 890, 893 (D.Minn. 1993) (holding that Minn.Stat. § 181.932 is inapplicable where plaintiff was an independent contractor). Even if plaintiffs were somehow covered by the whistleblower statute, they have failed to satisfy their prima facie case of retaliation.
