No you are not understanding that an employer who retaliated against an employee who reports fraud by “defaming” Violates the whistleblower protection act. It’s not a defamation case. It’s just further proof that the employer violates basic employment obligations systematically. Like I said employers have an obligation to report and cooperate with investigators when fraud is reported by the whistleblower. Instead dominion chose to threaten the whistleblower and characterize her as menial to dismiss her report. This violates the act. It’s retaliation and I intimidation. It has nothing to do with defamation or the election. Whistleblowers have federal protections especially when it involves federal and state agencies.
First, Dominion is not a federal or state agency. As a private corporation, the applicability of U.S. whistleblowing is pretty tightly constrained; there usually has to be some sort of a public report duty for the employee to benefit, or something in the company bylaws. I'm not aware of any protections that would apply to Carone under these circumstances. To be clear, whistleblower protection is not a blanket thing.
Second, the Whistleblower Protection Act only applies to governmental workers, which Carone is not.
Whistleblower protection act does not only apply to federal government workers. It applies to all workers reporters fraud. However federal workers get additional protections that whistleblowers do not have.
I don't know how else to tell you that it does. See, 5 U.S.C. § 2105 (limiting the definition of an "employee" under the Whistleblower Protection Act to federal positions).
I hate ignorance: “Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Lawson v. FMR LLC that Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) Section 806, which protects employees from retaliation, also applies to private companies, contractors and subcontractors that provide services to public companies. “Retaliation” is broadly defined to include the discharge, demotion, suspension, threatening, harassment or any discrimination against a whistleblower. The Lawson decision has made SOX Section 806 an important consideration for private companies.”
There are many types of whistleblowers In the private sector: pharma wistleblowers are only one example. Qui tam or false claims. There are also whistleblowers in the finance sector (securities exchange commission) You are spreading misinformation about A whistleblower Who is reporting fraud. Be careful it could be found to be a form of retaliation and I bet that employee already has found an attorney. I am sure you would not want to found liable for retaliation?
Federal employees get additional protections than private sector whistleblowers but even then the fact that it is involving a federal election that would up to the judges interpretation and a skilled attorney. Whistleblowers are near and dear my heart and your too partisan and ignorant for my taste.
I suggest you share the link with whoever you work for, they need better compliance practices right now they are acting like professional mobsters. https://weaver.com/blog/whistleblower-protections-hit-private-companies-are-you-ready
