SIXTH CIRCUIT REJECTS FEDERAL JURISDICTION IN OHIO PUBLIC POLICY CLAIM BASED ON FEDERAL STATUTE

摘要

In a case of first impression, the Sixth Circuit remanded a wrongful discharge case to the Ohio state courts, rejecting the employer's claim that the employee's reliance on federal statutes to create a public policy exception to the at will rule sufficed to create federal court jurisdiction. Eastman v. Marine Mechanical Corp., 2006 WL 335466 (6th Cir. Feb. 15, 2006).
