Next Meeting:  December 10, 2019

TOPIC:     Whistleblowers in the Workplace

Do employee complaints raised under whistleblower protections guarantee a cloak of invisibility or expose purported whistleblowers to retaliation?  How does one make a valid whistleblower complaint or reveal?  How loud or long must the whistle be blown?  Grievants in discipline cases sometimes assert their discipline was in retaliation for whistleblowing.  How does one establish that such “protections” were invoked?  How do management and unions respond appropriately to a claim of whistleblower protection?  What types of employment actions constitute retaliation? 

Join Philly LERA on Tuesday, December 10 for a timely and interesting discussion of whistleblowers in the workplace.  Scott M. Pollins, Esq., (The Pollins Law Firm) will share his experience representing whistleblowers under the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA).
