The Whistleblower Litigation Handbook: Environmental, Nuclear, Health and Safety Claims

By Stephen M. Kohn
Wiley, 1991

The foremost manual on environmental whistleblowing, this book focuses on civil action through the Department of Labor to secure relief for private, public and contract employees under the whistleblower protections in the seven major federal environmental and nuclear laws. Clear and concise, it provides researchers, attorneys and students with a guide to this complex area of administrative and civil practice.


The key questions addressed here include:

  • Who is protected under each whistleblower law?
  • Which activities are protected?
  • What are the statutes of limitations?
  • Who can seek reinstatement and damages?
  • Who pays attorney fees and costs?
  • How are costs calculated?
