FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Under current regulations within the framework of the 1998 Public Interest Disclosure Act (PIDA) workers can blow the whistle on their bosses without being prosecuted but the government is seeking to add a public interest test to the law, which effectively deter lawful leaks by a company’s personnel.
The changes were covertly included in the Enterprise Bill which was unveiled during Queen’s speech earlier this month yet the Public Concern at Work, a group that works to help whistle blowers to have their voices heard, said the reforms are “greatly misunderstood”.
The amendment is apparently meant to rein in the rise in PIDA cases from 157 in 2000 to 1,761 in 2009.
Those supporting the reforms say they want to plug a loophole used by bankers to secure pays and bonuses from financial institutions through threatening to make embarrassing disclosures, by claiming such revelations could benefit public interest.
However, Public Concern at Work said the reforms will also hit genuine people who want to make revelations for the good of the public interest rather than personal gains.
“This risks undermining what is a greatly misunderstood piece of legislation. We strongly urge ministers to reconsider,” Public Concern at Work’s chief executive Cathy James said.
