Grassley announces compensation agreements for ten FBI whistleblowers after prolonged retaliation, ensuring their rights are upheld.
Ten FBI whistleblowers have reached compensation agreements with the FBI after experiencing retaliation for reporting misconduct. Senator Chuck Grassley facilitated negotiations, highlighting that these individuals faced severe consequences, including demotions and suspension. Grassley expressed appreciation for the efforts of various officials in resolving these cases.
Grassley emphasized the importance of protecting whistleblowers, stating, “These brave actions were met with intense bureaucratic blowback.” He reiterated ongoing support for whistleblower protections, citing this as the third set of agreements he has helped secure this year.
Each of the agreements varies per employee, but none require resignations. All include lump sum payments, with some mandating the restoration of back pay and benefits equivalent to what the whistleblowers would have earned without the unjustified actions against them.
