Answer:

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

Explanation:

Erin works for a dry-cleaning company that has a contract with the U.S. government. To save on cleaning fluid, her boss orders her to wash some clothes that are supposed to be dry-cleaned in a washing machine. When the courier hired to pick up the cleaned garments arrives, Erin tells him about her boss's actions. Erin tells no one else about what is going on and is later fired. Erin <u>is not protected by the whistleblower statute because she failed to inform the proper party of the contract violation</u>.

The whistleblower act of 1989 grants protection to individuals who reveal or exposes any illegal or unethical practices going on in the organization in which they act to the right authorities or concerned/affected individuals.  

Erin did not carryout a whistleblowing act as he did not reveal/expose the unethical practices of his boss to the right authorities or affected individuals and as such he will not be protected under the whistleblower policy.

Which group of colonist came to the colonies from england, under contract to work a certain number of years
musickatia [10]

There was a group of young european workers that came to America from early 17th to early 20th century. These inmigrants would get a contract to work for an american employer during a time period, usually between 1 to 7 years. They didn't get any wages for their work, the employer paid for their subsistance and their passage to the country, but that also meant that he could restrict some of their activities, they weren't completely free. After their contract expired, they were allowed to stay in the country and sometimes they would get a small parcel of land. They were called the Indentured servitude.
