Legal Question in Employment Law in California

i had previously posted a question that I felt illegal practice had been executed at my place of employment where notary had been taken place in another state. I am in california. We were told to create our "liens" and the notary in Virginia would notarize well she also decided to sign our name. I never gave permission for her to do that. So now a huge argument has arose on legalities and had been informed our Director was to come in and threaten us that if we continue to refuse its insuboridnation and we'll be fired. But someone a confidant had told her in the long run not to and then told they better look into it. These liens had been mailed and filed with the appropriate counties. So now of course what are my responsibilities in this mess and can i file a suit against this company as today and expect 2 see tommorrow if the head people will show up to "fire" me & all this just because i objected & requested to know from our office if it was legal & supplied them with what i had found via internet on the Virginia Notary handbook and told them i am uncomfortable. Do i have recourse simply by just getting the word out it is not right, Whistleblower or would I only have recourse once they terminate me?

It would take a full review of the facts and circumistances of your termination, but if you are fired for refusing to participate in civil fraud at best and possibly criminal conduct, you probably would have a cause of action for retaliatory discharge.
