Co-Worker Retaliation

My former colleague, Alex Long (Tennessee) passed along word about an interesting retaliation case, Ketterer v. Yellow Transportation.  In Ketterer, the Fifth Circuit held that co-worker harassment wasn't actionable unless it was done in futherance of the employer's business--a minority view.  There's a cert petition and amicus brief from several employment law professors.  No action yet from the Court on the petition, but stay tuned.
