Summary

The Kentucky Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals and reinstated the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission’s Final Order, holding that the Commission’s interpretation that an employee’s letter is a “complaint” under KRS 338.121(3)(a) is a permissible construction entitled to Chevron deference.
