Introduction When the words “Wikileaks” and “Whistleblowers” are said out loud, all heads in the room will surely turn around. Secret organizations have for long been an interest to many people and a fatal threat to others. Whistleblowers are those who secretly speak of underlying mysteries and secrets of colossal organizations and important people. The ambiguity surrounding the true identity of those whistleblowers and the people operating Wikileaks succeeds in grasping the curiosity of people

Today, OSHA’s Whistleblower Protection Program enforces the whistleblower provisions of more then twenty-two whistleblower statutes protecting employees who report violations of various workplace safety and health, airline, commercial motor carrier, environmental, consumer product, food safety, financial reform, motor vehicle safety, health insurance reform, railroad, nuclear, pipeline, maritime, public transportation agency, and securities laws ("Whistleblower Protection Program", 2017).

Dog-whistle politics is a widely known term in political sciences; means coded language that is only understood by a targeted audience. According to William Safire (2008, p. 190), the term originated in 1988 from opinion polls. Safire quoted Richard Morin, director of polling for The Washington Post, mentioning the dog whistle effect (Safire, 2008, p. 190). People who talk about racial problems are being criticized, while people who use coded messages to talk about racial problems are not (Haney-Lopez

According to John R. Boatright (2012, pp.76), “A definition of whistle-blowing also needs to take into account to whom the whistle is blown. In both internal and external whistle-blowing, the information must be revealed in ways that can reasonably be expected to bring about a desired change.” Regarding to Edward Snowden who leaked the classified documents, his desire change is to let the public decides, whether the US National Security Agency’s mass surveillance programs and policies are right or

In the Enron case, Sherron Watkins attempted to fix the out of control financial situation by talking to the CEO, Ken Lay, but she was unfortunately silenced and demoted. She took responsibility in to her own hands and tried to handle the situation like a professional. Instead of talking to the press, she discussed the issue and tried to resolve it in house. Once she was silenced and demoted, she testified before Congress about Enron’s partnerships and resigned. Sherron Watkins could be called a

Whistleblowers: service without a remedy and protection INTRODUCTION During the G20 summit in Seoul 2010, the whistleblower protection law was evaluated across the countries and Australia was one of the highly rated countries with US and Canada in the public sector (Wolfe. 2014, p. 4). On the contrary, the level of whistleblower protection in the private sector is found weaker than the public sector (Wolfe. 2014, p. 4). This report critically examines the current protection regime in both public

Reducing the Risk of Whistleblowers There are varied motivations that drive whistleblowers to take action. As Schrieber (2006, 42) explains, whistleblowers manifest in myriad ways, "from disgruntled employees or customers to high-level executives trying to do what they see as the right thing." Thus, their motivations are just as likely to be altruistic as they are self-serving. Regardless, whistleblowing reflects poorly on the company and can severely damage the company's well-being, as the cases

“Objectively public administrators are accountable to both their superiors and the citizenry— proximately and routinely to the former but ultimately and more importantly to the latter” (Cooper, 2012, p. 198). A situation at Corcoran State Prison was challenged with a situation wherein dual obligations conflicted.
