Ex-OSHA official says agency let employers underreport injuries

Bob Whitmore, a former federal OSHA official who contends the government has allowed companies to underreport workplace injuries, has filed a complaint alleging he was fired from his job in retaliation for speaking out about his agency's failings.

His whistle-blower complaint is set to be heard by the federal Merit Systems Protection Board in early December.
