Question 9(1 point)

Saved

Sam was discharged after filing several unsuccessful race discrimination charges under Title VII. The company admits that it was frustrated with these litigious activities by Sam but also offers undisputed evidence that Sam had violated its zero tolerance drug policy by testing positive for illegal drugs during a random testing during working hours. How should Sam's retaliation claim be resolved?

Question 9 options:

a)

Sam loses because the company would have discharged Sam for violating the drug policy even if he had not filed the previous charges.

b)

Sam wins because the company admitted that his acts of participation influenced the discharge decision.

c)

Sam loses because violating the drug policy is a legitimate basis for discharge.

d)

Sam wins and gets a declaratory judgment and injunction and attorney fees but not an order requiring the company to reinstate him.
