context: For example, the Eighth Circuit found that the Spearman court "specifically explained that the plaintiffs fault-based retaliatory discharge claim-was not embodied in the Illinois statutory workers' compensation scheme, but rather derived from the state's common law." Thus, the action arose under the state's workers' compensation laws.
