Question: under the public-policy exception involved employees terminated for refusing to engage in unlawful or unethical conduct. In contrast to the employees in Lorenz and Mariani, Weissman here alleges that she was terminated for exercising a job-related right, not for refusing to engage in unlawful or unethical conduct. Specifically, Weissman alleges that she was discharged because she complained to the division that Crawford was attempting to eliminate her morning and evening rest breaks and because she continued to exercise those breaks. Although an employee terminated for exercising a job-related right may state a cognizable claim for wrongful discharge in violation of public policy under certain circumstances, see, e.g., Lathrop v. Entenmann’s, Inc., 770 P.2d 1367, 1372 (Colo.App.1989) (<HOLDING>), we conclude that such circumstances do not
