Legal Question in Employment Law in California

corruption and no justice

I have in the past worked for a police department at a community college. While working there I had witnessed many things happen that would be considered sexual harrasment, not following the FCC code (non-certified people on radio frequency) and threats. I know in the past people were fired for trying to recieve help for such cases. All officers involved in this conduct have not been reprimanded, rather, they have been given more power. What is the best way to go about going public with this information and not risk all people involved in the fight against harrasment fired.

Re: corruption and no justice

You or the others can publicize the 'truth' any way you like. But you're not going to get any assurance there won't be consequences. Whistle blowers are generally protected from retaliation in their employment by the law, but that law was enacted to establish what to do when on-job retaliation happens, it doesn't prevent it from happening. That is what lawyers are for, to file suit if and when it happens. Feel free to contact me to discuss your legal remedies, if and when it does.
