Key Takeaways:
- The brief calls on the ARB not to weaken whistleblower protection laws by requiring complainants to prove pretext, a requirement that would be inconsistent with well-established ARB precedent.
- The Federal Railroad Safety Act (FRSA), SOX, and other whistleblower protection laws enforced by DOL place the burden on the employer to prove by clear and convincing evidence that it would have taken the same action absent protected activity.
- Additionally, the legislative history of the FRSA’s whistleblower protection provisions shows that Congress intended to apply the clear and convincing evidence standard to an employer’s evidence on causation.
“The brief calls on the ARB not to weaken whistleblower protection laws by requiring complainants to prove pretext, a requirement that would be inconsistent with well-established ARB precedent and the plain meaning of the whistleblower protection laws that the DOL enforces.”
