United States Eighth Circuit

In an action against Ford Motor Company alleging wrongful discharge under the Missouri common law public policy exception to the employment at-will doctrine, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where plaintiff's complaint never alleged a violation of a specific legal provision and whether such legal provision involved a clear mandate of public policy, and plaintiff's belated affidavit discussing alleged violations of law directly contradicted both his complaint and interrogatories.
