‘‘SEC. 18C. PROTECTIONS FOR EMPLOYEES.
‘‘(a) PROHIBITION.—No employer shall discharge or in any manner discriminate against any
employee with respect to his or her compensation, terms, conditions, or other privileges of

under section 1402 of this Act;
‘‘(2) provided, caused to be provided, or is about to provide or cause to be provided to the

provision of this title (or an amendment made by this title);
‘‘(3) testified or is about to testify in a proceeding concerning such violation;
‘‘(4) assisted or participated, or is about to assist or participate, in such a proceeding; or
‘‘(5) objected to, or refused to participate in, any activity, policy, practice, or assigned task that
the employee (or other such person) reasonably believed to be in violation of any provision of
this title (or amendment), or any order, rule, regulation, standard, or ban under this title (or
amendment).
‘‘(b) COMPLAINT PROCEDURE.—
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—An employee who believes that he or she has been discharged or
otherwise discriminated against by any employer in violation of this section may seek relief in
accordance with the procedures, notifications, burdens of proof, remedies, and statutes of
limitation set forth in section 2087(b) of title 15, United States Code.
‘‘(2) NO LIMITATION ON RIGHTS.—Nothing in this section shall be deemed to diminish the
rights, privileges, or remedies of any employee under any Federal or State law or under any
collective bargaining agreement. The rights and remedies in this section may not be waived by
any agreement, policy, form, or condition of employment.’’.
