SCRAMBLE: The Whistleblower Protection Act needs to be promoted heavily in the state of Minnesota
Podcast:Garage Logic Published On: Tue Sep 23 2025 Description: The Whistleblower Protection Act needs to be promoted heavily in the state of Minnesota.The term "Whistleblower Protection Act" (WPA) primarily refers to the U.S. federal law enacted in 1989, which shields federal employees who report government waste, fraud, and abuse from retaliation. Subsequent legislation, like the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2012 (WPEA), has strengthened these protections. The scope of whistleblower protections in the United States extends beyond the original WPA to cover employees of federal contractors and specific industries. Several federal agencies, including the Office of Special Counsel (OSC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), enforce these laws.
