Exercise 55

In McCormack v. Safeway, included as a "Legal Briefcase" in this chapter, the plaintiffs brought a retaliation claim along with their sexual harassment claims. Less than a month after reporting the sexual assault, the plaintiffs were both interviewed about McCormack's alleged violation of Safeway's coupon policy. A Safeway loss prevention investigator confronted Stabenchek and McCormack in connection with his investigation. McCormack was suspended pending further investigation. Feeling their honesty was being questioned because of their complaint, plaintiffs resigned. Decide the retaliation claim. Explain. See McCormack v. Safeway, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 17805 (D. Ariz. 2014).
