*Disclosing or threatening to disclose an employer’s violation of a law, rule or regulation.
*Disclosing or threatening to disclose an employer’s criminal or fraudulent activity.
*Providing information to a public body investigating a possible violation of the law by the employer.
*Objecting to a policy or practice of the employer that the employee reasonably believes violates a law or regulation, is fraudulent or criminal, or violates a public policy.
