FP Snapshot on Workplace Safety: Will SCOTUS Whistleblower Ruling Have Broader Impact on OSHA Investigations?
Below is an article written by the NJ Chapter Secretary Phillip Bauknight who is a Partner at Fisher & Phillips LLP.
Welcome to this edition of the FP Snapshot on workplace safety, where we take a quick snapshot look at a recent significant workplace law development that affects your safety and health programs. This edition is devoted to how a recent Supreme Court ruling could impact workplace retaliation claims and OSHA whistleblower investigations. Read on to find out what you need to do as a result.
What Happened?
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court held that a whistleblower does not need to show their employer acted with retaliatory intent to prove retaliation under a federal law that protects financial investors. Instead, the Justices unanimously held that a whistleblower bringing a claim under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) needs to show that their protected activity (such as reporting or disclosing violations) was a contributing factor in the adverse employment decision. The ruling resolves a disagreement among federal appeals courts and sets a consistent standard of proof in SOX cases. As a result, we expect to see more whistleblower claims make it to a jury trial.

Snapshot on Manufacturing: 3 Top Compliance Challenges Stemming from OSHA and Labor Board Collaboration
Below is an article written by the NJ Chapter Secretary Phillip Bauknight who is a Partner at Fisher & Phillips LLP.
Welcome to this edition of the FP Snapshot on Manufacturing, where we take a quick snapshot look at recent workplace law developments and examine how they impact employers in the manufacturing industry. In this edition, we’ll discuss how a recent partnership between the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will impact manufacturing employers.
What Happened?
Employers need to prepare for increased safety and health enforcement efforts from NLRB and OSHA after the two federal agencies announced on October 31 that they agreed to enhance information-sharing and cross-agency consultations, training, outreach, and education. The agencies aim to promote safe and healthy workplaces and protect workers who speak out about unsafe working conditions.
This agreement aligns with the recent interagency collaboration we’ve seen from the NLRB, which means employers may find themselves subject to even more scrutiny from multiple agencies. To learn more about this collaboration, you can read our full Insight here.
