REED v. MUNICIPALITY OF ANCHORAGE

No. S-2901.

782 P.2d 1155 (1989)

George C. REED, Appellant, v. MUNICIPALITY OF ANCHORAGE, Appellee.

Supreme Court of Alaska.

November 9, 1989.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Richard P. Collins, Anchorage, for appellant.

James A. Crary, Asst. Mun. Atty., and Richard D. Kibby, Mun. Atty., Anchorage, for appellee.

Before MATTHEWS, C.J., and RABINOWITZ, BURKE, COMPTON and MOORE, JJ.

MATTHEWS, Chief Justice.

INTRODUCTION

The Municipality of Anchorage (Municipality) fired George C. Reed in retaliation for complaining to the state and the Mayor of Anchorage about allegedly unsafe working conditions. This appeal raises the issue of whether the remedies for retaliatory discharge under the state "whistle blowing" statute, AS 18.60.089, are exclusive. We hold that they are not.
