Additionally, we do not find BNSF acted with reckless disregard when sharing the
August 17 letter with RJC executives because RJC was in a contractual relationship with both
parties and had an interest in knowing about the investigation. Gray vy. AT&T Corp., 357 F.3d
763, 765-67 (8® Cir. 2004) (holding that the defendant, AT&T, did not publish allegedly
defamatory statement to a third party, Gates McDonald, which had a contractual relationship
with AT&T to process unemployment claims). Further, RJC was responsible for SEMO while
working on BNSF property pursuant to the agreement between RJC and BNSF, which states RJC
“shall be responsible for the (w)ork of subcontractors to the same extent as if Contractor had
provided the services itself.”
