A Landmark Whistleblower Retaliation Case: Dr. Toni Savage and Michael Kohn

In this episode of the Whistleblower of the Week podcast, host Jane Turner
speaks with Army Corps of Engineers whistleblower Dr. Toni Savage and her
attorney Michael Kohn about Dr. Savage’s landmark whistleblower retaliation
case.
A former Supervisory Contracting Officer with the Army Corps of Engineers, Dr.
Savage blew the whistle on millions of dollars in fraudulent contracts and faced
severe retaliation for speaking out. Kohn, a founding partner of Kohn, Kohn & Colapinto, represented Dr. Savage in her retaliation case before the Merit
Systems Protection Board (MSPB).
In a landmark win for federal employee whistleblowers, the MSPB ruled in Dr.
Savage’s favor, establishing that federal whistleblowers can raise hostile work
environment claims.
Turner, Savage, and Kohn discuss Savage’s whistleblowing journey, her decade
long retaliation case, and the impact her case has for other federal employee
whistleblowers.
