Outcome
The Oklahoma Supreme Court answered a certified question from federal court in the negative, holding that the Oklahoma Protection of Labor Act does not provide an established and well-defined public policy sufficient to support a wrongful discharge (Burk tort) claim based on allegations that an employee was terminated for contesting the employer's lunch-break policy.
