Description

Charles Toussaint brought an action for wrongful discharge from his employment by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Michigan. The plaintiff testified that on the day he was hired in 1967 he was given a "Supervisory Manual" and a pamphlet of "Guidelines", which contained the defendants personnel policies and procedures, including certain grounds and procedures for discipline of employees and termination of their employment. The plaintiff argues that these documents constitute a written part of his otherwise oral employment contract with the defendant and that, under the terms of the Supervisory Manual, he could be discharged "for just cause only", after warnings, notice, a hearing and other procedures provided in the Supervisory Manual. The plaintiff testified that in 1972 he was called into his supervisors office and told to resign. His employment with the defendant eventually ended after review of the decision by the defendants personnel department, company president, and chairman of the board of trustees, but the plaintiff was not given the benefit of all of the procedures in the Supervisory Manual. A jury in Wayne Circuit Court, John D. OHair, J., returned a verdict for the plaintiff of approximately $73,000 after the trial court denied the defendants motion for a directed verdict of no cause of action. The Court of Appeals, D.C. Riley, P.J., and Bashara and Mahinske, JJ., reversed and instructed the trial court to enter a judgment for the defendant (Docket No. 28888). Plaintiff appeals.
