Workers' voice and the right to manage - the case of whistleblowing in a comparative context
For the employers and businesses, it can be decisive that workers blow the whistle about wrongdoing to avoid dangerous situations and accidents. Still, it can be risky for workers to raise their concerns or blow the whistle. Managers and owners may have strong interests in suppressing the disclosure of information about wrongdoing.
In this study, we aim to understand how concerns are dealt with at three levels, namely national, sectoral, and organisational, and two sectors of the labour market, banks, and hospitals.
This study will be conducted in four countries – Norway, Denmark, Ireland, and UK - and aims to identify similarities and differences resulting from national legislation and labour market models.
