Whistleblower Protection Act

The Whistleblower Protection Act is a U.S. law designed to encourage people to report misconduct, like fraud or safety violations, in government or private organizations. It protects whistleblowers from retaliation, meaning they cannot be fired, demoted, or harassed for speaking out about illegal or unethical behavior. This law aims to promote transparency and accountability by safeguarding individuals who highlight wrongdoing, ensuring they can report their concerns without fear of negative consequences.
