Ballalatak worked for Hawkeye Downs as a security supervisor. Two employees were injured in a work-related accident. They called Ballalatak and reported the injury. Ballalatak drove to the scene, helped get the men to a hospital, and filled out an accident report. Later, the general manager, Nowers, told the three men to meet with him before returning to work. He told the men that their medical expenses would be taken care of. Later, the injured men told Ballalatak they were concerned they would not receive workers' compensation benefits. Ballalatak relayed the concerns to Nowers. He stated that the workers had a right to the benefits. Nowers fired him. Ballalatak then sued, contending he was fired for inquiring into whether the company was fulfilling its workers' compensation obligation to the injured workers. Nowers claimed he was fired for insubordination. The district court dismissed the suit; Ballalatak appealed

1. Could Ballalatak have sued the employer for breach of employment contract rather than for the tort of wrongful discharge?
2. Suppose employees could sue for "interfering" in the legal rights of other employees at work. What practical problems would that pose?
