Summary

The Iowa Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s dismissal of both the statutory claim under Iowa Code § 91A.10(5) and the common‑law wrongful‑termination‑in‑violation‑of‑public‑policy claim, holding that the employee did not engage in protected activity and that no clearly defined public policy supports her claim.
