Docket entry

981767 Dray v. New Market Poultry Products 09/17/1999 A generalized, common-law "whistleblower" retaliatory discharge claim is not recognized as an exception to Virginia's employment-at- will doctrine, and the Virginia Meat and Poultry Inspection Act does not confer any rights or duties that obviate that doctrine. The trial court did not err in sustaining an employer's demurrer, and the judgment is affirmed.
