Protecting Food. Empowering Whistleblowers.
Protecting Food. Empowering Whistleblowers.
The issue brief offers legislative and policy solutions that would bolster whistleblower protections for employees who speak up about wrongdoing in the workplace, regardless of their immigration status; break up monopsony power in the food production industry; protect workers, including noncitizen workers; and strengthen oversight of federal agencies and their contractors. These measures are necessary to ensure the safety of immigrant youth, all workers in the food production industry, and the integrity of U.S. domestic food supply.
