Eighth Circuit -- Buddy Rynders v. Larry Williams

Buddy Rynders v. Larry Williams

Free Speech claim strong enough to survive summary judgment where person doing the firiing allegedly said it was because of the free speakin'.

FMLA claim similarly strong as to notification of supervisor in official capacity, but not necessarily in personal capacity.

Parial dissent - FMLA notice was stautorily inadequate.
