Heather Smith v. BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee (Concurring)

Case Number
E2022-01058-SC-R11-CV

I join in full the majority’s opinion holding that the right to petition in the Tennessee Constitution cannot provide the basis for a retaliatory discharge claim against private employers. I write separately to suggest that, in an appropriate case, we should reconsider whether the Court is the correct entity to create public policy exceptions to the employment-at-will doctrine
