About this ebook
A memoir on the experience of whistleblowing, of working as an accountant in an international union in D.C. and discovering it was controlled by the Chicago Mafia. Hugh Giblin tells of connecting with the Chicago Organized Crime unit and beginning a six-year covert search within the union for information that could end the corruption in the union and its outrageous exploitation of its members, most of whom were low-income hotel and restaurant workers.
Giblin talks of the place of whistleblowing in society, actual cases, laws governing whistleblowing including changes needed, the rewards of whistleblowing (occasionally millions of dollars) but more often cruel punishments. He explores the psychology and motivation of whistleblowers. Why do they do it?
He tells in detail the break-in of his public storage locker and discovery, their reaction, and his fears, further efforts for justice and the ultimate results of blowing the whistle.
