What the decision says is that employers may use employment remedies against employees who take adverse actions as part of their job. If this guy had made his "whistleblowing" statements outside of the job, in a letter to the editor of a newspaper for example, it would have been protected.
If true, then this ruling encourages public employees to air official wrongdoing in the public eye instead of attempting to resolve problems internally first.

Looking forward to the deluge of dirty laundry. Should be quite interesting.
