Case Summary

4938 Worker's compensation was the exclusive remedy for firefighter's intentional infliction of emotional distress claim against county based on allegations of harassment in response to his complaints about superiors; this sort of harassment was inherent in the work relationship, unlike sexual harassment, which may be pursued in claims outside of worker’s compensation; further, firefighter’s claim that department was negligent in investigating his complaint was not actionable under Government Code 815.6 because the duty to investigate employee behavior is not mandatory; and, finally whistleblower retaliation claims failed on grounds that his complaints were not “protected activity” under the relevant statutoryprovisions.
