In the case of Hinkle v. L Brands, Inc., 2021-Ohio-4187, the Tenth District Court of Appeals held that employees did not state sufficient facts to support a claim of duress, harassment, and wrongful termination against their former employer.
In this case, the employees argued that another employee subjected them to belligerent behavior on multiple occasions. The employer argued that the employees could not make a successful claim on the facts.
The Court of Appeals reasoned that even if all the employees’ allegations were true, the employees did not have enough factual support for their claims to succeed.
