If someone came to you and said, “Three years ago I was removed from my job. At that point I had no one to turn to. I was removed from my job because I saw a senior officer who was in charge of my department...the very officer I had to report malfeasance to, and soon afterwards I suffered a punitive removal. I don't have the resources to go after this. I don't have a union to stand up for me.” Where does that leave those public servants who served the public interest, at times for decades?
