Menu6/19/17: Whistleblower protections have been in the news lately, causing some confusion about when, if and how whistleblowers are protected from retaliation. Protections aren’t identical across all agencies and a change by one isn’t automatically adopted by another. It’s a confusing business but Jonathan Marcus and David Meister of law firm Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom did their best to “unconfuse” it in an article they wrote for the New York Law Journal. In that article, the two authors explained recent changes adopted by
the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission to its whistleblower program. Especially important, according to the authors, “…is the CFTC's reinterpretation of its anti-retaliation authority.” The article isn’t light reading but it is thorough and provides needed information.
