A group of workers was fired for misconduct, but the person that brought it to management's attention is guilty of the same misconduct, probably even worse. However, this employee got to keep their job.

Does management know that the whistleblower is also guilty of the same behavior that got people fired? The group who got fired can go visit the local E.E.O.C. office and file a complaint of wrongful termination and see what happens. (Can do it individually and not as a group)

Some states do not require the employer to give any reason for terminating an employee. The employer can fire any employee for any reason, or no reason at all. However, if what you say is true, the company may have opened itself up to a lawsuit from former employees. There could also be circumstances or agreements between the other employee and the company that are perfectly legal that you aren't aware of that is allowing his continued employment.
