I am curious if this is in violation of any whistleblower protection laws

I believe whistleblowing applies to situations where illegal behavior has been taking place. I don't think that was the case here.

from wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistleblower_Protection_Act) it seems that whistleblower law is a federal law that protects federal whistleblowers.... IANAL.
