The law does not protect office gossips. This person should be identified.

The law does not protect office gossips

I'm kind of curious about the law. I looked at a brief overview and I can't see where there is anything that says the whistle-blower can remain anonymous. All I'm seeing is that the government can't take reprisals against the accuser based specifically on the accusation.

I'm even seeing that it is very rare for a complaint of illegal reprisals be upheld in court. Wiki says something like 3 out of every 200.

Does anybody have better in-depth knowledge of the law? I was originally under the assumption that the act provided for anonymity, and that all these precautions were taken to protect the source. But then after looking, I don't see it as much like I'd assumed.

Agreed. We are truly living in Bizzaro World.
