Richard Mudd, an employee of Compuserve, is called for jury duty in Wayne County, Michigan. His immediate supervisor, Harvey Lorie, lets him know that he "must" avoid jury duty at all costs. Mudd tells the judge of his circumstances and his need to be at work, but the judge refuses to let Mudd avoid jury duty. Mudd spends the next two weeks at trial. He sends regular e-mails and texts to Lorie during this time, but on the fourth day, gets a text message from Lorie that says, "Don't bother to come back." When he does return, Lorie tells him he is fired. Does Mudd have a cause of action for the tort of wrongful discharge?
