CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration, upholding the WCJ's finding of no employer violation of Labor Code §132a. The applicant claimed employer discrimination stemming from a dispute over reduced work hours and an employer's aggressive remark. The WCJ found the applicant's testimony lacked credibility due to inconsistencies and evasiveness, particularly regarding her prior Labor Board complaint. Crucially, the applicant failed to prove termination or that any adverse action was a result of her industrial injury, and evidence suggested her conduct, not her injury, was the subject of employee complaints.
