Angela Anderson, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Standard Register Company, Defendant-Appellee

Summary

The Tennessee Supreme Court affirmed the trial court’s grant of summary judgment for Standard Register Company, holding that the plaintiff failed to show a causal link between her workers’ compensation claim and her discharge under a facially neutral absence policy. The court reasoned that the employer’s policy was legitimate and non‑pretextual, and thus no retaliatory discharge claim existed.
