Pinder v. Bahamasair Holdings Limited
22 Fla. L. Weekly Fed. D 79 (S.D. Fla. 2009) (October)
After witnessing a co-worker violate federal airline regulations, an employee sent a letter documenting the incident both to her superior and to the TSA. The employee was then informed she was fired for sending the letter to the TSA, so she brought an action against her employer under the Florida Whistleblower Act. The Court granted summary judgment for the employee because her letter to the TSA constituted an “objection” to the illegal behavior and that the employer could not escape responsibility for the behavior by putting it all on the coworker.
