California law protects whistleblowers as they serve an important function of society. Without whistleblowers, employers would get away with violating the law to the detriment of employees and the public.
If you reported illegal conduct to your employer or coworkers and you were treated poorly afterwards, you may have been retaliated against for blowing the whistle. This is true even if no illegal activity was actually going on. The whistleblower is protected even if he or she was wrong.
