Reefer employment-termination litigation madness on the horizon in California?

Reefer employment-termination litigation madness on the horizon in California? The Supreme Court of California has announced that in just under two hours from now, the court will issue its ruling in Ross v. RagingWire Telecommunications, Inc.

The case presents the following question:

The court plans to make the ruling available online via this link at 1 p.m. eastern time.
