Biography:David F. Loeffler has been practicing law since 1963. The emphasis of his practice is in general labor and employment litigation, and white-collar criminal defense.

He argued successfully to the District of Columbia Court of Appeals that it was not a violation of the NLRA to discharge an employee believed by the employer to have engaged in boycott activities; to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals that an arbitrator exceeded his authority when he determined that a collective bargaining agreement contained external law and that the employer violated external law; and to the NLRB that all communication between counsel and client in the collective bargaining context is subject to attorney-client privilege.

David is the author of a chapter on Union-Management Relations in the State Bar of Wisconsin publication, Labor and Employment Law in Wisconsin and several newspaper articles: “Worker Replacement as a Moral Issue,” The Wall Street Journal, August 5, 1991 and “Repeal of the Targeted Jobs Credit Would Harm the Least Well-Off,” The Milwaukee Journal, June 3, 1987.

He is admitted to practice in Wisconsin and Michigan and before the U.S. Courts of Appeals for the Second, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Circuits, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. Supreme Court.

David was a professor of law at Wayne State University in Michigan and at Florida State University. He was a law clerk to Justice Horace Wilkes at the Wisconsin Supreme Court.

Lead counsel in United Foods v. Hormel Foods Corp., pending in Wisconsin Supreme Court, L.C. #2010CV2595.

 Program Overview & Learning Objectives
Program Overview:The press is filled with stories of criminal prosecutions and civil actions arising from an employee’s claim that the employer violated a law, unrelated to immediate workplace relationships.

The presentation will present a summary of federal criminal/civil statutes that give rise to whistleblower claims. The presentation will summarize federal statutes which protect whistleblowers from adverse employment decisions “because” they blew the whistle. Wisconsin law on whistleblower protections will be addressed.

The heart of the presentation will be a walk-through of a hypothetical claim by an employee that a manager bribed a foreign government official to obtain an advantage for a Wisconsin firm.

The presentation will deal with the response to the employee’s revelation: internal investigations, investigation by official law enforcement; response to media and investors.

How to deal with the employee, who may be a participant in the violation, or a poor performer on the cusp of discharge, will be a focus point.
Learning Objective 1:Participant should gain practical working knowledge of federal and state law which protects a whistleblower from adverse employment decision “because” of whistleblowing.
Learning Objective 2:Participant should gain practical working knowledge of how to manage an employee’s claim of illegal employer conduct in an internal investigation and in an investigation by law enforcement. This includes best practices for dealing with public disclosures.
Learning Objective 3:Participant should gain practical working knowledge of how to deal with a whistleblower who may be a participant in the illegal conduct or an otherwise unproductive employee.
