Generally speaking, whistle-blowers are those who expose misconduct
(eg: fraud, abuse, or illegal activity) within an organisation.
Legal protections for employees who report illegal misconduct by
their employers have increased dramatically since the late 1970s
when such protections were first adopted for federal employees in
the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978. Since that time, with the
enactment of the Whistle-blower Protection Act of 1989, Congress
has expanded such protections for federal employees. Congress has
also established whistle-blower protections for individuals in
certain private-sector employment through the adoption of
whistle-blower provisions in at least 18 federal statutes. This
book provides an overview of key aspects of the 18 selected federal
statutes applicable to individuals in certain private-sector
industries. It also examines steps OSHA has taken to include auto
industry employees in its whistle-blower program and the extent to
which OSHA collaborated with DOT components to address potential
safety violations; and the number of transportation-related
whistle-blower claims in the last 6 years and
stakeholder-identified factors that may affect those numbers.
