ROBINSON v. SHELL OIL COMPANY 117 S.Ct. 843, 136 L.Ed.2d 808 (1997).
Shortly after being fired by Shell Oil Company (“Shell”) in 1991, Charles T. Robinson, Sr. filed a charge with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) claiming discrimination based on race.’ While that charge was being processed, Robinson applied for another job.’ Seeking an employment reference, the company to which Robinson had applied contacted Shell. Robinson believed Shell provided a negative reference to the potential employer in retaliation for filing a discrimination charge with the EEOC. Robinson thereafter filed an anti-retaliatory discrimination charge against Shell with the EEOC and sued in the Federal District Court for the District of Maryland.
The Shell Oil case was a big win for former employees.

Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
