Ray was accused of workplace violence by BART bosses for exposing corruption by BART managers. They not only fired him but also sought to get a court order preventing him from returning to work. The judge ruled that this was a action to suppress free speech and ordered BART to pay the union lawyers. The judge also declared that Ray was doing a "public service" in exposing the corruption.
