Report Link Changes In Obscure Law Could Affect Your BusinessFisher & Phillips, LLP - September 05, 2007 The Surface Transportation Assistance Act (STAA) is a law that doesn't receive a lot of coverage, but which potentially affects many companies. Because of recent changes that broaden the STAA, a lot more companies could be receiving unpleasant lessons in the statute. Report Link Another Whistleblower Law To Worry About.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - May 03, 2007 Whistleblowers now have a much bigger incentive to cry foul if they believe your company – or you – are pulling one over on the IRS. Under a tough new law passed by Congress in December 2006, whistleblowers now have a statutory right to collect a large bounty if they report tax fraud and the IRS ends up collecting money. This new law will undoubtedly lead to more claims filed by disgruntled employees who believe they have evidence of foul play in your workplace. Report Link Hospitality: Coast Guard Gets Complaint, Employee Gets Fired, Riverboat Gets Sued.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - February 13, 2007 Whistleblower claims have been on the rise for several years. A host of state and federal laws protect employees against reprisal for reporting allegedly illegal conduct by their employers to the appropriate governmental agencies. But a riverboat casino recently was hit with a case alleging a new twist in these laws. Several employees complained to the Coast Guard about a decision made by the Coast Guard, not the employer.

Report Link Supreme Court Holds That Restricting Speech That Is Undertaken as a Part of a Public Employee's Professional Responsibilities Does Not Violate the First Amendment (pdf).Phelps Dunbar LLP - May 31, 2006 On May 30, 2006, the Supreme Court reversed a
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals holding in Gracetti v.
Ceballos, No. 04-473, 2006 WL 1458026 (U.S.). The
issue in Gracetti was whether the First Amendment
protected a public employee’s speech when it was
expressed as part of the public employee’s employment
duties. The Court’s ruling is applicable only to public
employers (i.e. states, cities, counties, parishes or other
government owned entities such as community
hospitals). It has no application to private, nongovernment
entities or businesses. Report Link A New Era for Whistleblowers.Fredrikson & Byron, P.A. - February 24, 2004 Employment law concepts and protections historically mirror changes in societal and business norms.
