"Strange twist for plaintiff in UBS case; Government makes unusual request in whistle-blower suit" by Beth Healy, Globe Staff | September 4, 2008
For investigators at the US Department of Labor, a whistle-blower lawsuit against the biggest offender in Wall Street's auction-rate market shutdown would seem to offer plenty of red meat.
But so far, the department appears to be giving the employer the benefit of the doubt.
Timothy Flynn is a stockbroker who sold auction-rate securities to numerous Massachusetts cities and towns on behalf of UBS Financial Services Inc. He sued UBS in July, alleging that the firm forced him out for cooperating with Massachusetts regulators investigating the firm. But what seemed a classic legal case has taken an unusual turn: Labor officials, who oversee whistle-blower cases, have asked Flynn to prove that his former employer is subject to a federal law that is meant to protect employees from retaliation.
Often, legal experts say, companies in UBS's position might raise this as a defense. But UBS did not raise this defense. Rather, the Labor Department raised it on UBS's behalf.
