GAP seeks to protect and defend these employees when they blow the whistle on workplace health and safety issues, improve and broaden legal protections for workers' health and safety, and reform OSHA so that the agency will perform its function of protecting workers. GAP is working to educate Congress about the need to extend protections for corporate employee whistleblowers who assist in the enforcement of federal health and safety laws, as well as broadening free speech protections to government employees who are not currently protected. The Seattle office has three supervising attorneys and focuses primarily on oversight of the Department of Energy's nuclear weapons facilities as well as environmental accountability in Alaska. The Washington, DC, office offers internships, which may focus on any area of GAP's docket. GAP does not accept first-year college students as interns.
GAP offers internships for academic credit.
GAP also hires work-study students, and participates in contributory grant programs. There is no minimum time commitment for law students. Full-time summer law student interns may be provided with a modest stipend. GAP actively seeks minority and women applicants for its internship program. GAP does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, sexual orientation, marital status, matriculation, family responsibilities, political affiliation, or disability.
