An organization famous for taking the cases of disgruntled ex-workers in the public and private sectors likely has a few of its own right now. The National Whistleblowers Center, founded in 1988, laid off a “significant” number of its staff on November 5, according to executive director Stephen Kohn. The center is still operational, according to Kohn. They’ve secured pro bono lawyers and fellows supported by law schools to cover any cases on their plate at the moment.
Kohn wouldn’t say how many people were fired, but the center’s website previously listed at least a half-dozen employees. He attributed the firings to the center’s loss of a major grant from the Open Society Institute, where a spokeswoman confirmed that a two-year, $200,000 grant had not been renewed.
