Becker v. Fred Meyer Stores, Inc.
Annotate this CaseFred Becker V, a loss prevention manager employed by Fred Meyer Stores, Inc., was terminated in 2012. He sued his former employer, alleging breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and wrongful termination. The superior court granted summary judgment in favor of Fred Meyer, concluding: (1) that Fred Meyer’s loss prevention policy manual did not create a contract between Becker and Fred Meyer and Becker’s employment was terminable at will; and (2) Becker had presented no evidence that he was treated differently from similarly situated employees with respect to the good faith and fair dealing claim. But because the record presented genuine issues of material fact regarding both claims, the Supreme Court reversed the superior court’s summary judgment ruling.
