As previously reported on ALP, former WM VP Jared Bowen wants to make sure that WM did not violate federal law when it fired him:
Bowen spent 13 years at Wal-Mart, rising from store cashier to v.p. of operations before the company fired him March 30, 2005, according to a statement released yesterday by Bowen's attorney, Steve Kardell of Clouse Dunn Hirsch in Dallas. The termination came after Bowen reported some questionable expenses incurred by his immediate superior, former Wal-Mart vice chairman Thomas Coughlin, the statement added.If Mr. Bowen knew about the transactions for years, and only came forward after some time, I'm not sure he's in a protected status. Here's more...Bowen believes he was the first person at Wal-Mart ever to openly question the Coughlin expenses, even though he said they went on for several years.
