CASE BRIEF: Adams v. Uno Restaurants, Inc. FACTS:

After several years of employment by defendant, while working his nighttime line cooking shift, Adams noticed that the kitchen floor of the restaurant was saturated with a foul smelling liquid coming from the drains. Adams left work complaining of illness and contacted the Department of Health about the drainage problem in the restaurant’s kitchen. Upon returning to the restaurant a few days later, Adams was ordered into his manager’s office. Adams was reprimanded for stealing a softball shirt and taking home a work schedule. A shouting match ensued and Adams was charged with disorderly conduct, however the charges were later dropped and have since been expunged from his record. Adams contends that he was unlawfully terminated only because he notified the Board of Health regarding the unsanitary kitchen conditions.

ISSUE: Was Adams wrongfully terminated in violation of a state whistleblower statute? Why or why not?
