CASE NO. 82-ERA-1
In the matter of
RUBY LIVERETT,
Complainant
vs.
TENNESSEE VALLEY AUTHORITY,
BROWN'S FERRY NUCLEAR PLANT,
Respondent
MEMORANDUM DECISION OF THE SECRETARY
Ruby Liverett filed a complaint alleging that she was
discriminatorily discharged from her employment by the respondent
because of activities to carry out the purposes of the Energy
Reorganization Act of 1974, as amended, in violation of Section
210 of that Act (92 Stat. 2951; 42 U.S.C. 5851).
After a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge, the
Judge issued a recommended decision in which he found that
the complainant had not shown any discrimination against her
by her employer within the meaning of the Act and that no violation
of Section 210 of the Act was committed. The Judge therefore
recommended that the complaint be dismissed.
On the basis of the entire record, it is my conclusion
that the findings of fact and conclusions of law contained
[Page 2]
in the Administrative Law Judge's recommended decision, dated
December 16, 1981, are supported by the evidence in the record,
are in accordance with applicable law, and are proper, and
I adopt such decision as my own. Accordingly, I conclude that
the respondent did not violate Section 210 of the Act as alleged,
and the complaint is hereby dismissed.
Dated at Washington, D.C.
this 21 day of July, 1982.
