 Firstly, that's another reason to have a Pledge For Scientists. Employers
must become aware in advance that scientists cannot be expected to keep
something secret that violated the Pledge for Scientists. If all scientists
were known to abide by a certain pledge, then employers will not be able to
force them to sign secrecy oaths in violation with such a pledge.

 Secondly, there are whistleblowers provisions that protect scientists who
consceinsciously object against certain orders and who speak out against
certain practices.
 Finally, there are civil rights that apply to anyone.
