Like most transactions, it’s now possible to file a whistleblower retaliation complaint online. According to a post on Ogletree Deakins’ Ethics/Whistleblower blog by shareholder Margaret H. Campbell and associate Jesse C. Ferrantella, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) launched the new system last month.
The previous system required that complaints be submitted in writing or by calling the agency’s hotline or regional office. According to the entry, the new one “will allow whistleblowers to report violations in a simple form, where they can describe the allegedly retaliatory act by clicking a box from a menu of choices.”
