Twiss v. Lincoln Telephone & Telegraph Co.
Nebraska Supreme Court (1939) | 136 Neb. 788; 287 N.W. 620; 1939 Neb. LEXIS 162
TL;DR: Employee sued for pension benefits and slander after discharge. The court denied pension benefits, finding no vested right under the employer-funded plan's terms, and reversed a slander judgment due to lack of publication by the defendant.
Legal Significance: Affirms employer's right to define conditions for non-contributory pension benefits, holding that no rights vest if explicit age and service requirements are unmet at discharge, per the plan's terms.
