                             TITLE 29--LABOR
 
CHAPTER XVII--OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT 
                          OF LABOR--(CONTINUED)
 
PART 1977--DISCRIMINATION AGAINST EMPLOYEES EXERCISING RIGHTS UNDER THE WILLIAMS-STEIGER OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ACT OF 1970--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 1977.11  Testimony.

    Discharge of, or discrimination against, any employee because the 
employee ``has testified or is about to testify'' in proceedings under 
or related to the Act is also prohibited by section 11(c). This 
protection would of course not be limited to testimony in proceedings 
instituted or caused to be instituted by the employee, but would extend 
to any statements given in the course of judicial, quasi-judicial, and 
administrative proceedings, including inspections, investigations, and 
administrative rule making or adjudicative functions. If the employee is 
giving or is about to give testimony in any proceeding under or related 
to the Act, he would be protected against discrimination resulting from 
such testimony.
