ERA whistleblower
ERA whistleblower is a whistleblower who reports nuclear safety violations to government agencies or entities that have the authority to take a corrective action.
Energy Reorganization Act (ERA) prohibits any employer from discriminating against any employee because the employee assisted or participated, or is about to assist or participate in any manner in any action to carry out the purposes of either the ERA or the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (AEA), as amended, 42 U.S.C. 2011 et seq. Under Section 211 of the ERA, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has the responsibility to investigate employee complaints of discrimination for the purpose of providing a personal remedy and may, after an investigation or hearing, order a violator to take affirmative action to abate the violation, reinstate the complainant to his or her former position with back pay, and award compensatory damages, including attorney fees. DOL issued final regulations (63 FR 6614, February 9, 1998) which govern the employee protection provisions of Section 211 of the ERA, as amended.
