Today's Poll
Massachusetts whistleblower laws predominantly safeguard public employees from retaliation when they report violations, abuse, or risks to public health and safety. However, private employees have far more restrictions in regards to their state-provided whistleblower protections, but there are still ways they file retaliation complaints, including federally through the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Act.
In January, the state agency Cannabis Control Commission suspended a whistleblower featured in a WBJ investigation. Without providing reasoning, the CCC put Business Operations Manager Meghan Dube on paid administrative leave. Dube subsequently resigned from her role.
In May, Carla LeBlanc, a nurse at Saint Vincent Hospital was fired for her appearance on a local podcast in which she spoke out about long-documented concerns regarding working conditions and interpersonal dynamics at the Worcester facility. She then filed a lawsuit against the hospital and its operator under the Massachusetts Healthcare Whistleblower Protection Act, which offers protections to private healthcare workers.
