Clarifying Whistleblower Protection for Nuclear and Energy Department Employees.
This bill aims to enhance safety for employees of the Department of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission who report misconduct. The changes clarify that the "employer," rather than a general "person," is responsible for any retaliatory actions. This provides employees with clearer and stronger guarantees of protection against firing or punishment for revealing safety concerns.
Key points
Strengthening the rights of employees who report safety violations in the nuclear energy sector and DOE.
Clearly defining that the employer is directly responsible for retaliation against whistleblowers.
