Employees who file complaints about health and safety in the workplace, injustice, coverups of wrongdoing and criminal offenses are considered whistleblowers. Since whistleblowers are filing complaints to improve the workplace environment, they are protected from retaliation under the law. Therefore, it is illegal for an employer to fire an employee because they expressed concerns for the company. It is also illegal for an employer to create a difficult work environment for an employee who filed a complaint. If an employer does wrongfully retaliate, this instance is considered discrimination and should not be tolerated.
While employees have the best intentions in mind by attempting to take on progress in the workplace on their own, employers do not always have the best reactions. As a result, many whistleblowers have been let go or an employer has created such a difficult work environment for them that they are forced to quit. Discrimination is a very complex and unfortunate underlying factor to quite a few companies. Though it is common, this does not mean that it should be accepted.
