An elementary school inspector was fired from his job after blowing the whistle on a toxic waste cover-up by his agency managers related to the school's construction on a former munitions dump. The inspector's sister-in-law, a lawyer, suspects there are statutes protecting whistleblowers from retaliation and addressing due process for employee terminations. She must determine how to get her client a hearing and what showing must be made to establish he is entitled to one. Once entitled to a hearing, she will argue it was due before his termination to prevent loss of income and benefits during the hearing process, which could take years.
