We figured it out to be roughly $4000 dollars in the 5 years that she has been working there. That is alot of money. Maybe not for some but for her that is huge.

While I agree they have laws to protect whistleblowers the boss can still do thing within the law to make her miserable. I was just bringing up something that she should consider and isn't great how a state's reps are so ready to help us in these matters.

I called the # for the US labor Board and the guy basically read it word for word from the website. I actually followed along reading with him. Then he gave me a # for my state and told me to take it up with them. Of course I left a message and have been waiting since Wed evening for a response.

Giggity.

Don't know about Md but in Va you can just go into a VEC office and they'll help you out. Not terribly busy usually.
