Everyone has the ability to call out injustice and wrongdoing, but many people don’t understand their rights and the legal and regulatory pathways available to them. They may also not be aware of the non-governmental organisations that can provide legal, safety and other support to brave whistleblowers throughout their journey.
The Signals Network (TSN), Whistleblowing International Network (WIN), and Maynooth University assistant law professor Dr. Lauren Kierans BL have worked over the last two years to help tech workers know their rights. The Tech Worker Handbook series, first developed for the US and now in development for Irish, British and French employees, gives workers guidance in key areas of consideration, including legal, security and working with media. The speakers will discuss the universal best practices and unique differences they found creating these guides, such as how to create a personal assessment or work with a lawyer.
TSN's Executive Director Delphine Halgand-Mishra will facilitate the panel with WIN Executive Director Anna Myers and Dr. Kierans. WIN and TSN have contributed to the creation of the original Tech Worker Handbook for the U.S. and the soon-to-be-released guide for the U.K. whilst Dr. Kierans is creating the guide for Ireland.
