Assignment: 1. You have worked for several years for Big Box Botany, a major flower and shrub retailer. Your job is to maintain the plants in one of several large greenhouses. One Monday when you come to work and enter the greenhouse, you begin to violently sneeze and hiccup. You immediately call the Big Box Botany manager to learn if there has been any change in the greenhouse. The Manager, Rose Thorn, advises you that there is a new fertilizer that was introduced over the weekend.
You explain to Ms. Thorn your apparent allergic reaction, and she promises to change back to the original fertilizer the next week but advises you that nothing can be done until then. You ask for a vacation week, and Ms. Thorn refuses indicating that there no way to replace you on such short nice. With apologies you advise her that you have the right to not work in "dangerous conditions." You are immediately fired and bring suit against Big Box Botany for a "retaliatory firing."
