O'shea V. Detroit News

Plaintiff-appellant Suzanne O'Shea, acting as an individual and as the personal representative of the estate of her late husband Arthur O'Shea, appeals the lower court's dismissal of her wrongful death claim against the defendant The Detroit News (News). These and the plaintiff's other claims arose from her husband's employment with the News. The News cross-appeals the lower court's holding that the plaintiff's claims were not preempted under § 301 of the Labor Management Relations Act and its denial of the News's motion for summary judgment with respect to the plaintiff's age and handicap discrimination claims.
