Tom, Tim and Tonia are friends, co-workers and stoners -- they like to smoke pot, listen to music and play frisbee on their free time. Tom is a truck driver. Tim works dispatch and Tonia has a desk job all at the same company in a small town.
One weekend, Bud, their supervisor, was pounding some Budweisers w/ his buddies, Steve and Sue down by the river that runs through their town. Tom, Tim and Tonia were throwing the frisbee nearby in their cur off jean, no shirts and headbands listening to the Grateful Dead, and laughing a lot. Sue said to Bud "what the heck? Don''t those long hairs work for you Bud? Can't you control those dopers?
Embarrassed Bud said "they do and I will."
On Monday morning Bud arrived at work and looked around to see where they were. Tom was loading his truck. Tim was away from his desk helping Tom get loaded. Tonia was fixing the printer. Bud slipped a marijuana joint in Tonia's purse. He dropped another joint in Tim's desk and slipped a dime bag of pot into the truck Tom was drive.
He then called the head of security and HR to report a rumor he heard from a reliable source that Tim, Tom and Tonia were using drugs and they should be fired. HR ordered Toni to empty her purse; she did so not expecting the pot. Bud opened Tim's desk and pulled out the joint. And finally Bud discovered the joint in the glove box in Tom's truck.
Each employee was fired and each sued for wrongful termination based on a claim invasion of their right to privacy.
They hire the same lawyer, a guy named Lebowski, who tells them they all have a chance to win but each has a slightly different case.
What is the likely outcome for Tim, Tom and Tina and why?
Why are their cases different?
