Example of one I'm sure there are many more about that employees take a risk in letting us know the truth

 

Focus RS mk3 Engine issues.Back in February 2016 to April 2016 delays when their cars were stopped for shipment.

This internal document has been obtained: now suggests that the checks that were undertaken at the time were not full proof, hence now a year later a % of engines are now suffering with cracked engine blocks. So how many units were being built per week at that time  2 months worth of production suspect and Ford were under increasing pressure to deliver cars to European Dealerships and the USA. So what confidence /rectification improvement were made to negate an onging component failures. Ford presumably have placated the Authorities so as not to require a total Recall.

.......protection of the private 'for profit' sector.

(you won't get a job after, either)

Risk you take to help others, bit like the Barclay's CEO trying to find out who blow the Whistle but their Culture stopped him from finding out!

 

Perhaps VW now  wish it had had whistle blower, before Dieselgate had blown up in its Face!!

Perhaps owners of Fabia vRS MK2, Polo GTI 1.4 TSI and Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.4TSI could have done with such a manufacturing document when owners were and still are fighting VAG Customer Services about replacement engines............ 

Anything VAG issue to dealers regarding technical problems will be on erWin. It's not expensive to register for an hour and check what might be there for a particular vehicle.

 

Beyond that, there does need to be some sort of whistleblower protection in place, particularly to protect the anonymity of the source.

Whistle Blowers in Banking have protection, which is why a CEO of a top bank is in trouble for trying to find who a whistle blower was.

As long as those Whistle Blowing in the VW Group are not just some of the 3 monkeys that were there at the head of the group now trying to do a deal 

after the fact to save them having to be in jail awaiting trial like employees that only knew about the conspiracy to defraud long after the saga began.

Maybe, but they'd still go out to ruin the individual out of principle.
