Michael, you are in a touchy situation. First, I suggest
you polish your resume. If this gets to court and you have
to testify, you probably will be fired if the ruling goes
against your boss. (Yeah, you could sue, but that will drag
on for years, with no great odds that you will win.)
Godforbid anyone should get sick, you really have a moral
and ethical responsibility to report this practice to the
health department in your city. You also need to find a
new employer--one with ethics.
If it ever comes out that you helped to cover this up, your
reputation could also be on the line.
Do you have any links with reporters that could investigate
without revealing you as the source?
I feel for you; this type of thing has happened to me--in a
different industry. Trust me on this: cover your A**. At the very
least, you have posted this here. Keep a copy; start documenting
everything. Be proactive. Put something in writing to your boss.
Sorry you are experiencing this. Wish I could tell you it won't
happen again. Tell us how you are getting along.
