Answer: a. is not protected by the whistleblower statute because she failed to inform the proper party of the contract violation.

Options:

a. is not protected by the whistleblower statute because she failed to inform the proper party of the contract violation.

b. is protected by the whistleblower statute in her state because she spoke up about her employer's actions.

c. will be reinstated to her former job, because when she told the courier of the problem she was merely exercising her first amendment right to free speech.

d. is not protected by the state whistleblower statute. it is inapplicable because the contract was with the federal government.

Explanation: The Whistleblower Protection Act protects employees and applicants of federal agencies or an organization in a contract with the Federal government who provide information about the wrongdoings in their place of work. Such wrongs might be related to abuse of power, illegal actions or mismanagement.

For a whistleblower to be protected from retaliation from their employer such as unlawful dismissal as is the case above they must have experienced the wrongdoing first-hand, disclosed it to the right authority and the person who took an action against the whistleblower must have known about the disclosure.

Erin did not disclose it to the right authority, so she will not be protected by the Act.

What was the battle of LWO Okinawa for and what happened?<br> what were the casualties
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The battle of Iwo Okinawa was a battle of the Japanese Imperial army military force against the U.S's military force.

On the U.S's side, they did it to attempt acess to mainland Japan, and on Japan's side they did it because it was mid WW2 and they couldn't let the allies stop their conquest to obtain China, the Korean peninsula, and the Philippine islands.

The battle went like this;  

  • The U.S invaded the island (in February 19, 1945) to try to get access to airfields of the island that was very near the coast (750 miles) of Japan to help plan an easier future mainland invasion into Japanese soil.
  • The battle lasted for 5 weeks, making it an excruciatingly bloody battle, having around 7,200 people killed.
  • The Japanese started running low on supplies so they had to surrender, U.S was victorious, the island fell into U.S forces.
  • The U.S also then later captured Mount Suribachi in the island and planted a flag at the summit.

Casualties: around 7,200

NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN BATTLE:  70,000 U.S soldiers and 18,000 Japanese soldiers
