Not sure that follows. Rarely would an employer be responsible for the actions of the employee especially if that employee would be expected to use their own judgment in a situation far from the control of anyone else.

Facts matter. If it is a person sent ahead to make sure there is a parking space to recharge an electric car I doubt if the Secretary had much of an input in these actions.

Someone that did not clean up on Aisle 11 could be sued along with the supervisor, store owner and maybe even the chain involved if there is one. That would depend on the facts.

The problem is that she is being blamed for some mess up by an employee or maybe even just a civil servant of some kind.

And how much input did the chain have on the person not cleaning up Aisle 11?

I recall when I was writing all the Attorney Generals of each state about the Florida Victim Services Directory and a link to their state's version of it in various libraries' websites in their states that Ms. Jennifer Granholm responded with a letter that she would look into it for the State of Michigan. Or something like that. This would have been around 2002.

Only a few AGs responded.

Depends on the facts. Maybe the mess on Aisle 11 was caused when the store was closed and they had not hired enough people to clean first thing in the morning when a shopper fell.
