1) Union: if you have a union you can go to the. Unions have been decimated.

2) Gvt Regulation : OSHA for example, conservatives have pulled the teeth from these agencies and while they might fine the company, they can’t protect you personally.

3) Press: If you can get them to pay attention to you the press can be powerful, but even there, the press is watered down in the modern media market and you need a VERY compelling story.

3) Sue: you can sue… who has the money for that? I make a good
living and I can’t afford it.
