Investigative report published in the Houston Chronicle on November 29, 1998 a "toxic tort" lawsuit was filed against 40 chemical companies and trade association co-defendants in Common Pleas Court for Ashtabula County, Ohio, Case No. 98CV00797. The complaint was filed by the heirs of a former production employee at GenCorp's former polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin facility in Ashtabula, Ohio and GenCorp was served on December 21, 1998. GenCorp, as the former employer, is alleged to have intentionally exposed the decedent to vinyl chloride (VC), a building block compound for PVC that is listed as a carcinogen by certain government agencies. The alleged exposure is claimed to have resulted in fatal liver damage. Plaintiffs also allege that all of the co-defendants engaged in a conspiracy to suppress information regarding the carcinogenic risk of VC to industry workers, despite the fact that OSHA has strictly regulated workplace exposure to VC since 1974. This lawsuit is an outgrowth of three similar but unrelated "toxic tort" civil conspiracy cases brought in 14th Judicial District Court, Calcasieu Parish, Louisiana by the heirs of deceased former employees of two chemical plants in Lake Charles, Louisiana: (Ross, et ux. v. Conoco, Inc., et al. (Case No. 90-4837); Landon, et ux. v. Conoco, Inc., et al. (Case No. 97-7949); Tousaint, et ux. v. Insurance Co. of North America, et al. (Case No. 92-6172). GenCorp was named as a "conspiring" co-defendant in all three cases, along with most of the same co-defendants in the McKinley case. All cases pending in Louisiana have been settled on a basis favorable to the Company.

Investigative leave may be changed to “administrative” leave if the employee is found responsible for inappropriate actions. The Board agrees to follow a policy of progressive discipline which minimally includes a written warning, reprimand, suspension, with non-renewal or discharge as a final, last resort. Both parties agree that there are exceptional cases of gross misconduct where progressive discipline may not apply. Any disciplinary action taken against an employee shall be appropriate to the behavior which precipitates said action. A valid complaint made against an employee by any parent, student, or other person will be promptly called to the attention of the employee within twenty-four (24) hours of determining validity of the complaint, unless the complaint involves criminal misconduct and has been filed with legal authorities. In all valid cases of complaints, the District must provide a copy of the complaint to the employee prior to any District investigation unless the District is precluded from doing so by non-District legal authorities; and provide the employee the opportunity to meet and to address the findings of any complaint subsequent to said investigation, and, prior to the issuance of any action by the District. If, after investigating such allegation of misconduct by an employee, the District chooses not to reprimand, discipline, or take adverse action against the employee, the employee will receive written notice to such effect, but no record will appear in an employee’s personal file. All documents in the District’s possession regarding the allegation and proof of the investigation will be kept by the District in a confidential file separate from any employee personnel files, if the District chooses not to reprimand, discipline, or take adverse action.
