Ashby alleged discrimination under the Missouri Human Rights Act and retaliation under the Workers' Compensation Law after she was terminated for violating the company's drug-free workplace policy. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding Ashby failed to establish a prima facie case for either claim and that the policy was not discriminatory as a matter of law.","primaryTopic":"employment-law","topicSlugs":["employment-law","summary-judgment","workers-compensation","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=198673","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/asia-ashby-plaintiff-appellant-v-woodridge-of-missouri-inc-et-al-defendan-d37420","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"employment","label":"Employment Law","href":"/practice-areas/employment","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: employment","topic: employment-law","text: employer","text: discrimination","text: retaliation"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/employment"},{"slug":"workers-compensation","label":"Workers' Compensation","href":"/practice-areas/workers-compensation","score":16,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: workers-compensation","text: workers' compensation"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/workers-compensation"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: summary-judgment"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
