Bill to Extend Whistleblower Protections to Offshore Oil and Gas Workers Introduced

On Apr 18, 2013, Rep. George Miller (D-CA) introduced bill to extend whistleblower protections to offshore oil and gas workers. Currently there is no federal law that protects oil and gas workers if they are retaliated against after they blow the whistle on workplace health and safety violations on the Outer Continental Shelf. Workers on oilrigs like the Deepwater Horizon risk losing their jobs if they report dangerous workplace conditions. The workers performing cleanup activities on the Outer Continental Shelf similarly have no protections against employer retaliation for raising health and safety concerns.

The Committee on Education and the Workforce Democrats issued a fact sheet about the Bill. The fact sheet calls for all workers to be protected when they blow the whistle on “concerns about unsafe working conditions” and to grant the workers the “right to stop working if they fear they could be injured or killed.”

“Employees are best situated to discover hazards in the work environment; they are the first line of detection and should be protected when raising concerns,” stated Stephen Kohn, Executive Director of the National Whistleblower Center. 

The Offshore Oil and Gas Worker Whistleblower Protection Act of 2013 (H.R.1649) extends whistleblower protections to employees of employers working on the Outer Continental Shelf performing oil and gas exploration, drilling, production, or oil spill cleanup.

The bill is modeled after other modern whistleblower statutes and would:

  • Prohibit an employer from discharging or otherwise discriminating against an employee who reports to the employer, or a federal or state government official that he or she reasonably believes the employer is violating the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA).
  • Protect covered employees who report injuries or unsafe conditions related to the offshore work, refuse to work based on a good faith belief that the offshore work could cause injury or impairment or a spill, or refuse to perform work in a manner that they believe violates the OCSLA.
  • Establish a process for an employee to appeal an employer’s retaliation by filing a complaint with the Secretary of Labor, and allowing a jury trial if the Secretary fails to act in a timely manner.
  • Make an aggrieved employee eligible for reinstatement, back pay and compensatory and consequential damages, and, where appropriate, exemplary damages.
  • Require employers to post a notice that explains employee rights and remedies under this Act and provide training to the employees of these rights.

Senate Democrats put off vote on Labor Nominee Amid Criticism from Republicans

On April 24, Senate Democrats delayed a confirmation vote on Labor Secretary nominee Thomas Perez. Committee Chairman Tom Harkin of Iowa was concerned that Republicans would use a threatened separate hearing as a forum to attack Perez in his absence. Read more.

Senate Republicans have criticized Perez for his involvement in a deal with the city of St. Paul, MN that left a whistleblower with nothing.  Senator Chuck Grassley, Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee in coordination with Issa and House Judiciary Chairman Bob Goodlatte, released a joint staff report about how Perez orchestrated a controversial quid pro quo with the city that prevented the Justice Department from recovering hundreds of millions of dollars back to the taxpayers, and left a whistleblower who filed the suit out in the cold.  

Here is an excerpt from the joint staff report

"In early February 2012, Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez made a secret deal behind closed doors with St. Paul, Minnesota, Mayor Christopher Coleman and St. Paul’s outside counsel, David Lillehaug. Perez agreed to commit the Department of Justice to declining intervention in a False Claims Act qui tam complaint filed by whistleblower Fredrick Newell against the City of St. Paul, as well as a second qui tam complaint pending against the City, in exchange for the City’s commitment to withdraw its appeal in Magner v. Gallagher from the Supreme Court, an appeal involving the validity of disparate impact claims under the Fair Housing Act."

According to the joint staff report, this deal cost the U.S. Government the opportunity to recover as much as $200 million.

The Department of Labor’s OSHA Whistleblower Protection Program enforces the whistleblower provisions of more than twenty whistleblower statutes protecting employees who report violations of various workplace safety, airline, commercial motor carrier, consumer product, environmental, financial reform, food safety, health insurance reform, motor vehicle safety, nuclear, pipeline, public transportation agency, railroad, maritime, and securities laws. Rights afforded by these whistleblower acts include, but are not limited to, worker participation in safety and health activities, reporting a work related injury, illness or fatality, or reporting a violation of the statutes.

NWC Files Another Brief Urging the MSPB to Retroactively Apply WPEA

On April 12, 2013, the National Whistleblower Center filed an Amicus Curiae brief with the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), in the case of King v. Department of the Air Force. At issue is whether the provision of the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2012 (“WPEA”) regarding compensatory damages applies to all current cases pending before the MSPB. The MSPB requested stakeholders to file briefs on the issue as they did in Day v. Department of Homeland Security.  

In its brief, the NWC again strongly urged the MSPB to retroactively apply the WPEA to all pending cases. The MSPB’s decision will impact the fate of federal employees and whistleblowers that filed claims or suffered retaliation before the WEPA was signed into law on November 27, 2012.

Stephen M. Kohn, Executive Director of the NWC, said, “it is unequivocal that the intent of Congress was to apply the WPEA, including the provision on compensatory damages, to all pending cases retroactively.”

The Humane Society Speaks on Silencing Whistleblowers

Cathy Kangas, a Board member with the Humane Society of the United States, wrote a moving blog article yesterday about the importance of whistleblowers and why they should not be silenced.

The article states the alarming fact that "In 2013, lawmakers in 11 states have introduced anti-whistleblower bills." 

Here is a link to her article entitled "Silencing Whistleblowers."

OSHA Finds Metra Retaliated Against Whistleblower

In an April 23, 2013 press release, the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced that it found that the Northeast Illinois Regional Commuter Railroad Corp., known as Metra, violated the Federal Railroad Safety Act.  The violation occurred when a signalman's work hours were changed and his position was eliminated after he made a safety complaint. The company is ordered to pay more than $38,080 in overtime, along with interest, compensatory damages and attorney's fees.

"An employer does not have the right to retaliate against employees who report safety issues," said Nick Walters, OSHA's regional administrator in Chicago. "When employees can't report safety concerns on the job without fear of retaliation, worker safety and, in this case, passenger safety on Metra, becomes a serious concern."

An OSHA investigation upheld the 22-year Metra employee's allegation that the railroad reduced his overtime hours and eventually eliminated his position in retaliation for reporting a safety complaint on or about Aug. 1, 2011. After the employee reported that signal routes were not tested properly due to time constraints, he began to experience a reduction in overtime hours. Following his complaint filed with the secretary of labor alleging Metra had retaliated against him in violation of the FRSA, his position was eliminated.

OSHA's investigation found that the reporting of the safety issue was used as a pretext by the employer to reduce overtime and eliminate the employee's position. Metra provided no explanation for the reduced overtime hours or for eliminating the position so soon after the employee made his safety complaint. 

The railroad carrier has been ordered to remove disciplinary information from the employee's personnel record and to provide whistle-blower rights information to its employees. Either party in the case can file an appeal with the department's Office of Administrative Law Judges.

MSPB Urged to Retroactively Apply WEPA

Today the National Whistleblower Center filed an Amicus Curiae brief with the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), in the case of Day v. Department of Homeland Security. At issue is whether the new definition of a protected disclosure set forth in the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act will apply to cases pending and/or which arose before that law was passed. The MSPB requested stakeholders to file briefs on the issue.

In its brief, the NWC strongly urged the MSPB to retroactively apply the WPEA’s definition of protected disclosure to all pending cases. The MSPB’s decision will impact the fate of federal employees and whistleblowers that filed claims or suffered retaliation before the WEPA was signed into law on November 27, 2012.

Stephen M. Kohn, Executive Director of the NWC, said “It would be tragic if the reforms the whistleblower community fought for were denied to the very people for whom the law was designed to protect. If the Board decides not to retroactively apply the WEPA, whistleblowers will once again get the short end of the stick. The Board will also send a strong message that its hostility toward whistleblowing is unending. We hope Congress’s action in unanimously passing the WEPA will result in real change.”

The NWC’s brief can be viewed here.

The Office of Special Counsel, which strongly supports retroactively applying the new definition of a protected disclosure, previously filed a brief in this case. OSC's brief can be viewed here.
