Description

1. Overnite Transportation Company appeals a judgment for money damages based upon a jury verdict finding defamation based on negative comments a manager made about former employee James Gibson. Overnite was ordered to pay a total of $283,000 in compensatory and punitive damages. Overnite argues: (1) The defamation action is preempted by the National Labor Relations Act; (2) Gibson did not prove the requisite malice to show Overnite abused its conditional privilege as an employer to make statements about a former employee; (3) the punitive damages are excessive; and (4) the trial court erred by not requiring the jury to find that the damages were caused by the defamation. We disagree with all four arguments and affirm the judgment and order.
