NJ Laws on Whistleblower and Employee Protection Act

By Steven Keppler, Esq.

Federal and New Jersey law protect employees from retaliation by employers for going public with violations of the law.
Recently, in a story that made national headlines, a food and beverage manager in Kansas City revealed the KC Royals knowingly served expired food to spectators and fans of the Fall Classic.  Jon Costa, formerly employed by a major, US-based food service provider, was put on administrative leave after an ESPN "Outside the Lines" expose was published on ESPN.com detailing bugs, mold, and expired food were served during the 2014 World Series at Kansas City's Kaufman Stadium. At the time, Costa alleged he's spent months trying to get senior management to address the reported issues without success.
