 No. 1-04-1631, Sutherland v. Norfolk Southern Ry. Co.
Norfolk Southern moved to dismiss count III pursuant to section 2-615 of the Code of Civil Procedure (the Code) (735 ILCS 5/2-615 (West 2002)) on the grounds that Sutherland's right of action is not protected under the Illinois retaliatory discharge law.
Accordingly, because Sutherland's report to Norfolk Southern that he was injured as a result of a broken locomotive cab chair can hardly be said to "affect[] the citizens of the State collectively," he is not a whistleblower under Illinois law.
Apparently, Sutherland meant by this allegation that Norfolk Southern fired him either in anticipation or as a result of his filing a claim under the FELA and/or the FBIA.
