The Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that the Constitution does not protect public employees against retaliation by their supervisors for anything they say in the course of performing their assigned duties.
While the court's focus in the 5-to-4 decision was on disputes that remain within the workplace, the decision raised questions about the extent to which whistle-blowers who make their complaints public might now face a greater danger of retaliation.
In other words, if you work for a state or federal office and you see someone breaking the rules or the law, you may get fired if you report it. This is according to the Supreme Court, BTW.
Isn't that nice?
You could get fired despite your hard work and years of loyalty to a particular job.
I love it when the government makes it so hard to do the right thing.
