Speaking Up Under Trump: What to Know About Whistleblowing and Free Speech
With the second Trump administration rapidly undermining traditional civil service protections, PEER is working with an influx of public employees needing advice and representation on how to best report and correct wrongdoing without losing their jobs. Join PEER for an interactive webinar to delve into the challenges that government employees now face who work on environmental and natural resource management in the federal government.
Explore resources that can help public employees make informed decisions when facing difficult workplace situations. Discover the rights government employees are afforded under civil service laws, whistleblower protection laws, and the First Amendment, and how those rights are being impacted by recent administration actions. Learn how PEER supports government employees in navigating these complex challenges.
