Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

A whistleblower is an employee who calls attention to the employer's illegal or unethical activities. Many federal and state statutes such as SOX, OSHA and Title VII seek to protect whistleblowers by making retaliation an illegal act. The most significant whistleblower-protection law of the 21st century is the federal Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), which protects employees who blow the whistle on illegal financial transactions. However, whistleblowers' rights may conflict with the privacy rights of others.
