Mindy and Fred work for a large retail chain. The chain$$s billionaire owner is a staunch fundamentalist Christian. He requires his stores to enforce rules of conduct that include forbidding adultery between members of the sales staff. As sales associates, Mindy and Fred ran afoul of this rule when they began a relationship while Mindy$$s divorce was still pending. When word got around about their affair, both sales associates were fired.

Do Mindy and Fred have wrongful discharge claims against the company? If they were unaware of the rule against adultery, would your answer be any different?
