Fallin voted against “whistleblower protection” for her own employees

Does Mary Fallin have something to hide?

Good ol’ DC Mary voted against a bill that provided protection to federal employees who lawfully disclosed evidence of waste, abuse or gross mismanagement that they believed was credible without restriction as to time, place, form, motive, context or prior disclosure.

These “whistleblower protections” are a way to ensure honest, hard working folks won’t lose their jobs when they see something that violates the law and report it.

It prohibited employers from implementing or enforcing any nondisclosure policy or agreement. Employers were barred from investigating an employee who made a protected disclosure other than routine nondiscretionary agency investigations. The bill provided whistleblower protections to federal employees who disclosed actions that compromised the validity or accuracy of federally funded research or analysis and disseminate false or misleading scientific, medical or technical information.

Mary Fallin not only refuses to stand up for worker’s wages, she won’t even stand with working people trying to do the right thing.
