Kelly Brodie, Dr. John Heffron, Katherine King, Dr. Michael Langenfeld, Katherine Rall and Jamie Shaw
v.
Jerry R. Foxhoven, Richard Shults, Jerry Rea, Mohammad Rehman, Glenwood Resource Center and Iowa Department of Human Services
Plaintiffs Kelly Brodie and other employees of Glenwood Resource Center (collectively, “Brodie”) appeal from a district court’s order granting summary judgment against Brodie’s wrongful termination in violation of public policy claim. Brodie argues Iowa, federal, and international law all provide clear and well-recognized public policies against the abuse of GRC residents, and that they were wrongfully terminated for attempting to protect GRC residents from excessive hydration, overuse of restraints, and other abuses.
