Carnation Company, Petitioner v. Willie Ellis Borner, Respondent

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Civil Appeals, holding that a grievance under a collective bargaining agreement does not bar an Article 8307c wrongful‑termination suit, that future wages and retirement benefits are recoverable under the statute, and that exemplary damages are available. Justice Denton dissented, arguing that exemplary damages are not recoverable under Article 8307c.
