Özet
There have been many reminders that the combined challenges of our times including deep inequalities and systematic corruptions cannot be solved unless the truth is exposed. Unlawful acts and ecological destruction which increase these crises are usually brought to light only by individuals who blow the whistle on the violations that they witness in their daily lives. In this respect, many workers become whistleblowers and can detect more fraud than traditional actors such as auditors and supervisory organisations. Having an essential role in improving planetary wellbeing, ecological whistleblowing at work constitutes an important and emerging aspect of whistleblowing in the era of climate emergency. By focusing on ecological whistleblowing of private sector workers, this article aims to introduce some solution offers under a comparative and critical approach regarding both legislation and practice. Accordingly, all workers must have the right to whistleblow against ecological breaches which is exercised in a fair, effective and transparent manner. Since ecological whistleblowing at work has the capacity to be successful in several areas like worker participation, ecological sustainability, democracy, social justice and worker empowerment against employers’ ecologically harmful conducts, it is indispensable for better protection and enforcement of labour rights.
