Whistleblower Protection
Individuals are protected from retaliation for reporting safety or security violations.
It is a violation for an employer to take unfavorable personnel action against an employee because they engaged in protected activity relating to workplace safety and health. We can help workers file a complaint with OSHA if their employer retaliates against them.
Common protected areas include:
Commercial Motor Carrier safety
Pipeline safety
Air Carrier safety
Nuclear safety
Environmental health
Asbestos exposure
Corporate fraud
SEC rules or regulations
Railroad Carrier safety or security
Public Transportation safety or security
Hunegs, LeNeave & Kvas has successfully represented workers who have wrongfully suffered disciplinary action against them in violation of this protective law. We have helped workers receive punitive damages and back-pay with interest from their employer.
