[Webinar] Whistleblower & Retaliation Law in 2026 — Where Employers Are Getting Tripped Up

Join Jordan B. Schwartz, Lindsay A. DiSalvo, and Mark Ishu on Tuesday, October 20th at 1 pm ET / 10 am PT for a webinar titled “Whistleblower & Retaliation Law in 2026 — Where Employers Are Getting Tripped Up”.

Retaliation and whistleblower claims continue to rise and remain a top enforcement priority through 2026. Employers are facing increased scrutiny under a broad range of federal whistleblower statutes enforced by OSHA as part of the U.S. Department of Labor, including laws governing workplace safety, transportation, infrastructure, and environmental reporting. As interpretations of protected activity and causation continue to expand, routine post-complaint decisions are increasingly becoming the focus of retaliation investigations. This webinar takes a practical, proactive look at whistleblower and anti-retaliation trends shaping employer risk in 2026. Designed for safety professionals, HR leaders, in-house counsel, and compliance teams, the program focuses on where organizations most often get tripped up after protected activity and how early decisions can influence the scope and outcome of an OSHA whistleblower investigation.

Participants in this webinar will learn about:

• Enforcement trends shaping OSHA-enforced whistleblower and retaliation cases in 2026
• How OSHA evaluates protected activity, adverse action, causation, and timing
• Common employer missteps following safety, environmental, or operational complaints
• Best practices for handling investigations, discipline, performance management, and documentation
• Practical steps organizations can take to reduce retaliation risk and strengthen defenses
