Halloran & Sage successfully defended an employment retaliation claim brought against Roto Rooter by a technician who alleged he was terminated by this national plumbing service company because he had previously filed claims for wage/hour violations and national origin discrimination. The case was arbitrated for several days and all issues were found in favor of Roto Rooter. The defense centered on a detailed analysis of the employee’s performance metrics and profitability ratings relative to his peers as well as cross examination to elicit bias from former coworkers who were also terminated who were called by the claimant to testify regarding alleged statements of retaliatory intent made by the claimant’s supervisor and branch managers.
