Helen Armstrong tried to sue the state of Nevada after she claims Nevada OSHA sabotaged a whistleblower against her former employer. And now she got a major victory this week from the 9th Court of Appeals.

In Nevada OHSA represents big business, not the little guy. She's a heroine.

This story told absolutely nothing in terms of concrete facts or details. What did OSHA specifically do? What is her specific cause of action against the state? This clip talked around what should be obvious key facts but never directly addressed them. She filed a complaint with OSHA and it appears OSHA alerted her employer she had requested whistleblower protection? Her legal argument would then be that OSHA violated an (unspecified) law by informing her employer she had filed a complaint and/or requested whistleblower protection generally and that thereafter she was terminated from her job. If the notice was simply that she’s filed for whistleblower protection, she’s not going to get anywhere because OSHA is required to give that notice by statute (it’s what notifies them of the grant of WPEA invocation/coverage; if they don’t tell the employer someone has the protection, how else will they know?🙄) If OSHA disclosed more than the existence of invoking such protection, then the state may have liability for adverse employment actions that followed, otherwise, probably not. The state was absurd in thinking they could summarily avoid application of whistleblower laws by citing at will employment principals. Whistleblower protection trumps even that virtually unfettered ability to run roughshod over employees. Sorry Nevada, you actually have to follow the rules too, just like we in the federal government do.
