Description
Plaintiff, Kenneth W. Milton, filed a complaint which alleges that his employer, Illinois Bell Telephone Company, intentionally caused him to suffer severe emotional distress. The telephone company's motion to dismiss the cause of action was granted by the trial court on the grounds that the alleged conduct was, as a matter of law, not outrageous enough to be actionable. The issues presented by this appeal are: (1) whether the complaint alleges conduct which is outrageous enough to meet the pleading requirements for the tort of intentional infliction of severe emotional distress; (2) whether plaintiff's sole remedy is under either the Workers' Compensation Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 48, par. 138.1 et seq.) or the Workers' Occupational Diseases Act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1979, ch. 48, par. 172.36 et seq.); and (3) whether plaintiff is required to plead exhaustion of the remedies provided by a collective bargaining agreement. The following allegations are taken from the complaint. Plaintiff is employed by defendant as a telephone installer. One of his job duties is to complete written reports on the time required, material used, and tasks performed for each installation or repair job. Defendant uses these work reports in billing customers and in compiling reports of corporate expenses for the Illinois Commerce Commission.
