It was based on 1967 and 1974 laws which made it a crime for employees to give away articles representing trade secrets and prohibits employees from disclosing confidential information. Reporters are protected by the First Amendment and in Ohio, “shield-laws” protect the reporters’ confidential sources identity. The Ohio laws’ interpretation was ambiguous; therefore, P&G’s claims were unfounded.

A Michigan court is likely to agree that the fourth standard set out in Sutton is likely to apply, since the employer displayed retaliatory actions against Ms. Yang by denying her a partnership opportunity two weeks after reporting the suspected violation of the MRPC. Ms. Yang met all criteria for partnership and would not have experienced such actions had there been no protected activity. Ms. Yang is seeking protection under the WPA claiming that her employer acted in a retaliatory manner by failing to promote her, by denying her a partnership opportunity. The court held in a similar case, where the plaintiff was an employee working as a plumbing cross-connection inspector who complained to the Michigan Department of Labor’s Bureau of Safety and Regulation, about safety violations in defendant’s old water plant and then overlooked for another position, that a sufficient basis existed to grant protections afforded under the WPA. The court held
