Fired whistleblowing truck driver gets reinstated, back pay
A truck driver who was terminated after reporting unsafe brakes and refusing to drive more than the allowable hours will get his jobs back and be paid more than $190,000.
The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration has ordered Georgia-based Interline Logistics Group LLC to immediately reinstate a truck driver who was fired after filing a whistleblower complaint with OSHA, alleging termination after notifying the company about the deficient brakes.
