Book excerpt: As demands for service grow while resources shrink, Federal agencies must examine every aspect of their operations in order to achieve new heights of efficiency and effectiveness. Agency management cannot accomplish this goal alone--every employee also plays or should play a role. In this regard, Federal employees have long been encouraged to 'blow the whistle' on illegal or wasteful activities in the Government and offered protection against reprisal for doing so. The data discussed in this report are based largely on responses to a recent MSPB survey received from over 13,000 employees. The results show that some progress has been made toward the goal of encouraging employees to report illegal or wasteful activities, Unfortunately, the percentage of employees who claimed they had been the victims of reprisal because of their disclosures has also increased. The report concludes with recommendations for improvement. Federal Government, Whistleblowing.

Book excerpt: " Whistleblowers help safeguard the federal government against waste, fraud, and abuse-however, they also risk retaliation by their employers. For example, in 2002, a former FBI agent alleged she suffered retaliation after disclosing that colleagues had stolen items from Ground Zero following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. DOJ found in her favor over 10 years after she reported the retaliation. GAO was asked to review DOJ's process for handling such complaints. GAO examined (1) the time DOJ took to resolve FBI whistleblower retaliation complaints, (2) the extent to which DOJ took steps to resolve complaints more quickly, and (3) the extent to which DOJ complied with certain regulatory reporting requirements. GAO reviewed all DOJ case files for FBI whistleblower retaliation complaints DOJ closed from 2009 to 2013, and interviewed whistleblower attorneys, advocates, and government officials about the complaint process.

WPEA seeks to strengthen the rights of and protections for federal whistleblowers. WPEA includes a provision for GAO to report on the law’s implementation. This report (1) describes changes in the number of whistleblower reprisal appeals filed with MSPB, as well as the outcome of appeals, since WPEA’s effective date; (2) provides subject matter specialists’ views about granting MSPB summary judgment authority for whistleblower cases; and (3) provides subject matter specialists’ views about granting jurisdiction for a subset of whistleblower appeals to be decided by a district court of the United States. GAO recommends that MSPB help ensure the accuracy of its reporting on whistleblower appeals received and closed by (1) updating its data entry user guide to include additional guidance and procedures, and (2) adding a quality check in its data analysis and reporting process to better identify discrepancies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whistleblowers help safeguard the federal government against waste, fraud, and abuse -- however, they also risk retaliation by their employers. For example, in 2002, a former FBI agent allegedly suffered retaliation after disclosing that colleagues had stolen items from Ground Zero following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The Department of Justice (DOJ) found in her favor over 10 years after she reported the retaliation. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) reviewed DOJ's process for handling such complaints and in this book examines the time DOJ took to resolve FBI whistleblower retaliation complaints; the extent to which DOJ took steps to resolve complaints more quickly; and the extent to which DOJ complied with certain regulatory reporting requirements. Furthermore, in the context of the Intelligence Community (IC), whistleblowers are generally employees or contractors of federal intelligence agencies who bring to light information on agency wrongdoings. The threat of retaliation may deter potential whistleblowers from disclosing information on agency wrongdoing. There is seemingly tension between the desire to eliminate this deterrence, and thus encourage whistleblowers to bring agency misconduct to light, and the need to protect government secrets which, if disclosed publicly, could be harmful to the country's national security interests. This book concludes with a discussion on three sources of IC whistleblower protection against retaliation.
