Wrongdoing Repercussions

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - Lawmakers in Missouri are backing legislation that could make it more difficult for employees to be shielded from retaliation if they report wrongdoing at their workplaces. The measures are scaled-down versions of a broader bill that Democratic Governor Jay Nixon vetoed earlier this year. That legislation would have also made it more difficult for employees to recover damages if they were fired due to discrimination.
