Oct. 6, 2016

"[T]he employee complained to DOL about the trustee's interference with her efforts to collect delinquent contributions from contractors who were required to contribute to the fund. After learning of the employee's contact with DOL, the trustee, on the advice of the fund's legal counsel, suspended the employee from her employment with the trust and, less than six months later, fired the employee.... [T]he court concluded that the employee's suspension and termination were a direct result of her communication with the DOL." [Perez v. Brain, No. 14-03911, (C.D. Cal. July 25, 2016)]
