Raise your voice against unethical actions

 
Bitter truth of the society, if you are doing a right thing or even promoting it you have to face a consequence for that. If you are an employee of the company and that company is doing some unethical actions or legally unsound acts than you should raise your voice. But for this you should be courageous and also some fundamental understanding of law. Because when you raise your voice after that situation can become difficult for you. 
 
Most of us thought as same and get afraid to become whistle blower. But we should raise our voice against a crime, a fraud, violation of practice and some irregularity with work. There are many state and federal laws or whistleblower attorneys who help employees to overcome this fear and protect them from possible retaliation for being a whistle blower. The false claims act, under the qui tam provisions is 147 years old law. It was enacted during the Civil War time, specially to prevent weapons profiteering.
 
With the help of the False Claims Act an individual can sue the unethical work doing companies on behalf of the federal government. 
 
So, whenever you find out that your employer, company or the organization that you are working for is doing something ethically dubious, you should raise your voice and Whistleblower attorneys definitely help you.
