I’ll note that many EA orgs already have whistleblower protection policies in place and that there are also various whistleblowing protection laws in many jurisdictions (including the US and the UK) which I assume any EA affiliated organization or employee would have to follow.
I can’t speak to orgs, but the scope of legal protection for whistleblowing protection for US private employees is quite narrow—I think people are calling for something much more robust. Also, I believe those protections often only cover an organization’s actions against current employees—not non-employer actions like blacklisting the whistleblower against receiving grants or trashing them to potential future employers.
