How do public whistleblowers prevail despite employers' attempts to silence them? Whistleblowing is essential for raising awareness of extreme wrongdoing within organizations yet, despite changing laws designed to offer more protection, workers exposed for public disclosures frequently find themselves the targets of extreme retaliation. Featuring high-profile cases from Amazon, Facebook and Theranos, Kate Kenny reveals the critical - and often unseen - role that skilled allies play in supporting whistleblowers when official channels fail. Novel and sophisticated means of silencing require new strategies for whistleblowing – and supportive partners are key. In this new era of whistleblowing, oppressive lawfare is used against truth-telling workers, and official channels can be weaponized. Yet powerful employers can still make mistakes. Regulators of Last Resort shows how aggressive reprisals can yield surprising advantages for dissenters. Working in partnership with advocates, public whistleblowers can find strategies to survive, persist and bring their disclosures to light.
Kate Kenny is Professor of Business and Society at the J. E. Cairnes School of Business and Economics, University of Galway.

Kate has published four books on whistleblowing in organizations, and numerous journal articles. Her research has been featured in the Financial Times, the Guardian, The Atlantic and the Irish Times.
