I see:

The EPA was alerted to the issue by the International Council on Clean
Transportation
(ICCT), reporting the results of research done for them by the Center for
Alternative
Fuels, Engines and Emissions (CAFEE), at the West Virginia University. In
2014, CAFEE
published a report about such research done for ICCT.

They wanted to use VW as an example of what can be done with clean
diesel so as to force new rules on other car manufacturers.
Big surprise. :-)
What legal protection should there be for employees threatened with job loss
for refusing to further illegal acts of their employers, or for disclosing such
acts, possibly violating trade secret agreements? Are existing protections
effective and sufficient?
