There are many federal environmental laws regulating the activity of public and private companies for the protection of the environment. These laws are far more effective when employees report the violations of their employers, so the laws have provisions to protect those employees from retaliation. If you have information about environmental law violations in your workplace, the whistleblower protections of these laws may protect you from retaliation for reporting the violations, or for objecting to the illegal activity. Read the information below to learn about what laws protect environmental whistleblowers, and what qualifies as retaliation under environmental laws.
