Whistle blowing is not wrong. Whistle blowing is an act whereby an employee, who has personal knowledge of any illegal or wrongful act perpetrated by his or her employer, calls the attention of the proper authorities to help stop said illegal acts from continuing in the workplace.
If you know of any illegal acts being perpetrated by your employer in the workplace, from sexual harassment and employment discrimination to fraud, waste and abuse committed against the employees and the state, and then you must blow the whistle against him or her.
Whistle blowing is a very courageous and morally upright act. It is an unselfish act you can do to protect other employees and help the government maintain justice and in the workplace.
An example of whistle blowing is when you found out that your employer is not declaring the correct sales taxes or invoices on sold goods or when the employer is not providing humane or at least minimum standard working conditions for the employees in the work place and you call the attention of the proper authorities to address these matters. There are whistle-blowing laws in each state, which prohibits your employer from legally discharging, harassing or suspending you for exposing his illegal acts. However, whistle blowers still face severe retaliation from their employers due to their act.
More often than not, whistle blowers became target of further harassment and discrimination as retaliation for blowing the whistle on his or her employer. This retaliation can be committed not only by the employer but by the employer’s supervisors, managers and other employees who wants to seek favors or be on the side of the employer for their own personal gains and ambitions.
Whistleblowers should not worry. Federal laws as well as state laws, like the California violation of whistle-blowing act give ample protection to whistle blowers. These laws protect whistleblowers adequately enough that if an employer or anybody retaliates against the whistle blower, he or she will be liable for damages.
If you decide to blow the whistle on your employer's illegal acts, and you have been subject to retaliation, for your selfless act, then, rest assured that you are entitled to numerous claims for damages from your employer or anybody used by your employer to retaliate against you. All you need is to seek the services of a competent whistle-blowing lawyer to champion your cause.
