Answer 1

Answer: prohibits reprisals against whistleblowers by their superiors.

Whistleblowers are persons, who report illegal activities by an employer, government or organization. Since whistleblowers may risk retaliation from these groups for disclosing such information, a state and federal protection act for whistleblowers (WPA) was created to protect them. The act prohibits reprisals against whistleblowers by their superiors.
