Description
The Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act (WPEA) requires that federal agencies that have or use nondisclosure policies, forms, or agreements ensure that said policies, forms, or agreements include an explicit statement (“anti-gag provision”) notifying the signatory employees that they retain their rights to report wrongdoing to Congress, the Inspector General (IG), or the Office of Special Counsel (OSC). Two of the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s (CPSC) recent nondisclosure agreements did not fully comply with this requirement. The CPSC must act to remedy this non-compliance going forward.
