Callahan & Blaine Represents Wrongfully Terminated Employee in Morongo Lawsuit
CABAZON, Calif.--(Business Wire)-- When William C. Morris, a non-Indian employee, was terminated and denied his promised severance package of $150,000, he needed help and hired Callahan & Blaine, California's Premier Litigation Firm. Mr. Morris' June 8, 2007 employment agreement with the Tribe was very specific. The contract contained a provision, which promised that the Tribe would pay to Morris a severance package totaling $150,000 if he left within 2 years of his employment. On October 30, 2007, the Tribe terminated Morris's employment. At the time of the termination, Robert Martin, Chairman of the Tribal Council, again promised Morris that he would be paid the $150,000 as stated in the contract. "Sadly, this is not the case," explains C&B partner, Brian McCormack, "as they had indicated that they don't live up to their promises to non-Indian employees and claim sovereign immunity and there's nothing I can do to enforce this contract. "Further, it is an unfortunate situation and with respect to the upcoming referendum on Proposition 95, I feel that it is important to make everyone aware of the Tribe's unfair business practices, especially as we near Tuesday's vote. I encourage all of you to let The Morongo Band of Mission Indians know what you think and vote No on proposition 95."
