Secretary Solis answers concerns about DOL’s Whistleblower Protection Program

Last July, the National Whistleblowers Center (NWC) joined with Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) and the Government Accountability Project (GAP) in submitting a letter to Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis. The letter raised concerns about whether the Department of Labor (DOL) was doing enough to improve DOL’s Whistleblower Protection Program. Today we received Secretary Solis’ response. In the letter, Secretary Solis points to the "top to bottom" review of the Whistleblower Protection Program, and she promises that her Deputy Secretary, Seth Harris, will meet with representatives of NWC, PEER and GAP.
