A complete overview of developments in statutory and common law
that provide increased protection for whistleblowers and authorize

overview of court decisions and the constitutional roots of
whistleblower protection is included along with available legal
remedies under both state and federal law. An extensive appendix
lists texts of whistleblower protection laws.
"Human Resource Management NewS"
Beginning with an overview of the jurisprudential and
constitutional roots of whistleblower protection, the authors go on
to outline the numerous legal remedies under both state and federal
law available to whistleblowers. They demonstrate that although no
comprehensive federal whistleblower laws exist, many laws and
doctrines are sufficiently interrelated to offer a safety net of
protection. Turning their attention to the private sector, the
authors explain state court developments concerning liberalization
of the traditional employment at will doctrine. They then analyze
the case law of the twenty-six states that have adopted a public
policy exception to the doctrine and the new tort created by this
exception which offers additional protection by permitting suits
for damages by private sector whistleblowers. An extensive appendix
lists the texts of thirty federal whistleblower protection laws, an
expecially valuable feature for practicing labor law attorneys.
