Doing My Duty as a Citizen: Garcetti v. Ceballos

Posted By Elisa On 26th June 2006 @ 09:05 In rankism at work, rankism and the courts, rankism and the state | No Comments

Over the last few weeks a number of articles on Daily Kos called attention to [1] Garcetti vs. Ceballos, where retaliation for reporting discipline was outrageously restyled as [2] managerial discipline. The issues range from [3] free speech to [4] enabling government corruption to the [5] chill on whistleblowers.

I have nothing to add but gratitude for all who recognized immediately that any decision that give employees reason to be afraid to report fraud, negligence, and incompetence to their superiors will be a savage blow to the public good. I’m only here today to do my citizen’s duty and pass on that on Thursday, June 29th, National Whistleblower Center Chairman Stephen Kohn will be [6] testifying before the House Committee on Government Reform about the ramifications of Garcetti v. Ceballos. Please note this link includes the handy-dandy [7] Capwiz link to write your political representatives and let them know that you resent every move our government makes toward establishing the Orwellian state.
