What is a whistleblower?
A whistleblower is defined as a person who informs on another or makes public disclosure of corruption or wrongdoing.

What anti-retaliation laws are in place to protect whistleblowers?
Laws which protect workers, such as anti-discrimination employment laws, make it also illegal for employers to retaliate against an employee for reporting a wrongdoing by their employer.

Where can I find out more about whistleblowing and retaliation?
