Haha the employee wasn’t sued

Did you bother reading the link?

Three cats would be a trio.

Good go with that.

I do. And the judge did, too. He sided with the company, saying she was not wrongfully terminated. Then she appealed. So that means at first the judge agreed with me. He stated the ONLY reason she won was because when this happened she had clocked out moments earlier. So she was just a "citizen" at that point.

Did you even read the link in the OP?

Baez felt she had been wronged by her employer and responded by filing a claim with the state Employee Development Department (EDD).

After a review of her case, a state EDD judge initially upheld Safeway’s termination.

But Baez continued to fight back and appealed.

Then last week, an EDD administrative law judge issued and finalized a new ruling in favor of Baez, concluding that there was no misconduct on her part.

He also noted that the judge acknowledged that the actions that took place that day happened when Baez had clocked out of her shift, so she was technically off duty.

"The judge said it was no different than a citizen's arrest," Eisenberg explained.
