Has Our Government Failed Us? the Effects of Poor Whistleblower Legislation

LogoThe Washington Government Accountability Project analyzed 61 nations' whistleblowing protection laws. Canada and Lebanon are last, as well as Norway and Australia. The ability to report issues safely within a corporation, the guarantee of not becoming worse off after blowing the whistle, and protecting identities when it comes to confidential disclosures were all considered. 20 criteria were assessed, including how protected people's identities are when they make sensitive reports inside their workplace and whether they are protected if they report issues outside their company.
