Every day private companies and government institutions retaliate against honest employees who refuse to participate in illegal or unethical conduct and/or speak out against illegality and corruption. When an employee makes the choice for honesty and places the welfare of their fellow citizens first, they make a decision to become an Ethical Resister - a Whistleblower.
The moment that your company or government agency becomes aware that you are aware of their corruption, they immediately begin to target you for retaliation.
There are numerous state and federal laws and common law claims that can be brought in your defense. You should always consult an attorney as to your options.
