a whistleblower lawsuit is when an
employee raises a concern to an employer
about suspected illegal activity or
suspected unlawful activity and says
“Hey you know what I don’t think that
this complies with the law.” Or “Hey I
think we might be running close to law
here We should look at that.” and the
employer instead of being grateful and
saying “Okay hey thanks for letting me
know Let’s check that out.” Instead of
doing that they fire the employee There
are so many good remedies that we have
here in Minnesota It takes a lot of guts
and a lot of courage for someone to step
forward at their job and say when things
aren’t being done being done right it’s
pretty easy to go along to get along I
mean that’s I think all of us have that
part of that in us But for someone to
step out of that and say you know you
know what This this isn’t right This
doesn’t feel right We might hurt someone
here We might hurt someone at the plant
This isn’t safe We might hurt someone in
the public That takes a lot of guts And
so the law protects people like that
because that those people actually help
all of us as a community And so if an
employer retaliates against that
employee by firing them then that
employee has a whistleblower lawsuit
