Just a question about focus on whistleblowers

[Vox Moi]

1. Most private sector whistleblowers are employees-at-will ...

... and so the 'protected activity' (whistleblowing) laws are trumped by the great bargain we made with Corporations. Thanks to 'employee-at-will' policies, government has little jurisdiction over corporations when it comes to individual employees.
Corporations can fire employees-at-will for 'any reason or no reason at all'. A whistleblower gets fired immediately and any action by the plaintiff must be pressed in civil court at the whistleblower's expense. The issue at hand is not the whistleblower's original complaint, but rather 'unlawful termnination' and the burden of proof is on the whistleblower. If there is not an immediate, provable threat to human health or safety the whistleblower has little chance of success in a complicated and hostile legal battle. It is also unlikely that the whistleblower will find additional support from government prosecutors until after he has won a case of illegal termination.
