Phillips & Associates is proud to announce that Partner Jesse Weinstein was recently featured in Lawyer Monthly, where he offered legal insight into New York Labor Law § 740 (NYLL 740) and the expanding protections available to whistleblowers across the state.
In the article, Weinstein discusses how high-profile moments—such as WNBA star Napheesa Collier publicly calling out league leadership—mirror the types of protected activity that New York’s whistleblower statute is designed to safeguard. He explains how the 2022 amendments to NYLL 740 significantly broaden employees’ rights, protect workers who speak out in good faith, and hold employers accountable for retaliation.
Weinstein’s commentary highlights the importance of leadership responsiveness, the legal risks of dismissing employee concerns, and the growing cultural expectation that integrity in the workplace must be protected. His contribution underscores Phillips & Associates’ commitment to advocating for employees' rights and ensuring that workers across New York are empowered to report wrongdoing without fear.
