PROTECT FEDERAL WHISTLEBLOWERS

See the work we're doing etc..

Federal whistleblowers are crucial to exposing abuse of power and corruption. They stand in an unmatched position to detect and reporting wrongdoing, making them indispensable to safeguarding our democracy. Yet, federal whistleblowers are not afforded the same degree of protections as private sector whistleblowers. They are denied the right to file retaliation cases in federal court and are left to the mercy of appointed officials and administrative action.


Recent attacks on the rights of federal employees have further compromised the safety of federal whistleblowers. In response to these assaults, National Whistleblower Center has launched a comprehensive campaign to advocate for the increased protection of federal whistleblowers and educate federal employees about their rights.
