Case No. 92-ERA-54
In the Matter of:
ROD ANDERSON
Complainant
v.
WACKENHUT CORPORATION
Respondent
RECOMMENDED ORDER APPROVING SETTLEMENT AND
DISMISSING CASE
This proceeding arises under the Energy Reorganization Act of
1974 (ERA), 42 U.S.C. § 5851 (1982)1 as amended, and the
regulations promulgated thereunder at 20 C.F.R. Part 24 which are
employee protective provisions of the ERA or of the Atomic Energy
Act of 1954, as amended, 42 U.S.C. § 2011, et seq. The Secretary
of Labor is empowered to investigate and determine "whistleblower"
complaints filed by employees at facilities licensed by the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) who are allegedly discharged or
otherwise discriminated against with regard to their terms and
conditions of employment for taking any action relating to the
fulfillment of safety or other requirements established by the NRC.
On November 12, 1992, counsel for complainant filed a Motion
To Dismiss With Prejudice based upon a compromise of the
outstanding issues. On November 12, 1992, the parties further
advised that they have completely conciliated the matters in
controversy as shown by an executed General Release, Waiver of
Employment and confidentiality Agreement. The Agreement is dated
November 9, 1992, and is signed by complainant Rod Anderson, his
attorney and counsel for Respondent.
I have reviewed the terms of the agreement, and I find such
[Page 2]
terms fair, adequate and reasonable under the circumstances.
Accordingly, it is recommended that the Secretary of Labor enter an
order dismissing this proceeding with full prejudice.
ORDERED this 30th day of November, 1992, at Metairie,
Louisiana.
