Has anyone had experience whistleblowing? The company I work for is breaking a lot of labor laws in my state and I'm about to file a complaint against them. I'm a bit worried in that, even though what they're doing is so blatant, the state won't do enough.
What should I be doing to prepare? I've organized my coworkers, including ones higher up from me while still keeping corporate workers in the dark. I have a decent amount of proof, including texts sent proving wrongdoing.
In case you're wondering, they don't offer break, make it a policy for higher ups to not tell workers about PTO the state requires, and ignoring a few recent laws passed.
What do you mean they don't offer break? The people in charge of you guys don't give you a break because corporate says so?

hire a lawyer, but give a care package to a trusted friend/automated release bot to release to national media if they silence you in court
Dominic Martinez
Correct. No lunch periods, no breaks. This is probably the most egregious one. Guy who has worked 15 years said it's never been offered to him and denied each time.
Should I go for a lawyer over filing a complaint to the state? I spoke to a screener and she said my best bet was triggering an investigation.
Carter Adams
if it's actually pretty serious you'll hire a lawyer. if you are a poorfag larping as if you were important, then don't bother.
Robert Cox
Thats beyond fucked, what industry are you in?
Colton Murphy
I don't know why you would assume that someone saying a company is breaking labor laws and seeking advice on it is 'someone important.' Do you think if I had money for a lawyer or a union I'd be here on the crypto shilling board? All companies breaking labor laws are important.
Let's say it's a popular grocery store chain.

Once you call the company out on their bullshit, other colleagues will follow. Even if you are left to fight this alone, you've made a landmark choice not to be a cuck, and you're likely cut out to be an entrepreneur, than a serf. It's a win-win for you. Godspeed, user!
Thomas Gray
if you see fraud and say nothing, you are complicit in that fraud

Spark that fucking investigation you faggot. I literally dream that someone is dumb enough to give me some legal leverage where I could invest the settlement into almost anything and relax for a bit.
Develop anxiety and depression from your lack of breaks. Become a smoker and say you went through withdrawals at work as well. Have some sort of medical episode from lack of food at lunch time.
Also make sure you get them RECORDED saying that they don't give breaks period and make sure you do so legally. You are looking at a class action my friendo
PS that shady roastie lawyer you visited is retarded and she knows this is out of her league anyways. You need a real corporate lawyer to take it probono ya'feel
Owen Stewart
This.
Andrew Cox
Thank you for your words, anons. I think what I'm going to do is, wait a little bit, pull proof from my higher ups I have in on this, and get a few more people. There's a lot of older men at my store who I still need to speak to get on board.
I'm hoping that, when I do file the complaint, they try to retaliate and fire me. I'd love to sit pretty for a good while.

Reach out to the NLRB... Good luck troublemaker
Robert Long
Good, never be a cuck.
Camden Flores
Good luck man. You don't need us to tell you you're doing the right thing.
before you do anything, VIDEO RECORD EVERYTHING. get some real hard evidence.
after that, get your solicitor to blackmail those cunts.
Noah Roberts
whistleblowers = gods
Blake Gomez
Been a whistle-blower before, prepare to have a target on Your back.
My only advice is to keep a journal of every time you interacted with a senior and to always make sure you get a witness to everything as much as you can.
Realistically you should be looking for a new job now too.
If you're British go see your doctor go off paid sick with stress and watch how accomadting they start to be
