The court rejected the appeal of two employees who say they reported violations related to environmental permits and regulations to the management of Newmont Mining Co., which took no corrective action.
The jobs of environmental coordinators Sandra Ainsworth and Rebecca Sawyer were eliminated in Humboldt County in 2003. And they claim they were not given a chance to apply for other open positions within the company.
The two urged the Supreme Court to expand the whistleblower protections to employees who are terminated for reporting potential permit violations and illegal acts to supervisors and management in their company.
