A St. Clair County resident filed a lawsuit against a Madison County company, alleging unlawful termination.
William R.E. Dawson, of Fairview Heights, filed a lawsuit Feb. 9 in Madison County Circuit Court against Mike’s Inc. of South Roxana.
According to the complaint, Dawson, an employee of Mike's, was injured in an on-the-job accident Nov. 10, 2014, and applied for workers’ compensation. The defendant then terminated Dawson as a result, which does not comply with state employment law, the suit states.
