EU: the European Parliament’s Legal Affairs Committee introduces whistleblower protection for labor rights violations

The European Parliament's Legal Affairs Committee has adopted MEP Virginie Rozière’s (Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats) report on a draft directive protecting whistleblowers. Parliament has added the EU right to ‘employment, working conditions, workers’ rights, and equal opportunities for men and women at work’ to the legislative scope about which employees can signal violations by their employers and continue retain protection from employer reprisal action.
