Whistleblower - Retaliation
It is illegal to take action against a whistleblower. A business cannot act against an employee who objects to company policy, files a sexual harassment suit, or reports illegal business activities to an oversight agency. If you have been disciplined or dismissed because you reported activity you believed was illegal, contact an experienced employment law attorney to advise you about your options.
