Question

I'd like some Outside Perspective on this:

Mel was hired by the Critical Care Construction Company as an expert welder to help assemble the containment vessel for a new nuclear power plant. For safety each weld was x-ray'ed after being completed. When more than 70% of Mel's welds were found to be improperly done, he was discharged by Critical Care.

Did Critical Care act legally?

Answer 1

Yes, because if someone was to be injured by one of Mel's welds, the company would be sued. The company was well in their rights to let Mel go.
