Well if the rumor of LLNL to be down to 3,500 by 2010 is true you guys better get to work quick. I doubt any lawyer will do you any good since there's a clause that says if there are no funds they don't have to keep you. They'll keep who they want and that's the end of the story. We've been there and done that haven't we. You're wasting your time.

I am one of the career workers LLNS management tossed out the gate last may. LLNS said the lay off would be based on seniority for non- 200 series employees. THEY LIED !

Many of us that had 25 or more years of dedicated service were laid off because of our age. LLNS kept the younger employees that had less seniority. There is a law against that. It is called age discrimination.

Many of us have joined together and are challenging our lay off. If you are being treated unfairly by LLNS or if you are a older worker laid off last May and feel there is a age discrimination issue, don't lay down. Challenge management. File a grevience or hire a lawyer.

It's true LLNS violated their own policy in regards to the "seniority" based layoff groups by retaining younger less skilled employees while "releasing" older and more skilled employees. In fact, at least one group of younger employees were retained in secret. This was not revealed until AFTER the layoff last May. This group was also allowed to take advantage of the VSP while still retaining their jobs. All NIF non-200's were not allowed this luxury. This was clearly against LLNS policy.

Fight back - what they did was wrong and illegall!

Firing long time workers over the age of 50 is a well know practice used by many crooked companies to reduce costs. In most cases, it is very difficult to legally prove age discrimination, even though it clearly has occurred.

Of course, those in the executive suites are always immune to this practice. In fact, they are rewarded for carrying it out.

Hey Jan. 5, 2009 8:00 pm

Sounds like you were pretty good at bringing the boss coffee and donuts. You were probably pretty good at mowing his lawn, laughing at his stupid jokes, etc.

I was 60 years old and had over 25 years of service to LLNL. I was very good at doing my job and being dedicated to the mission of LLNL. I was not good at sucking up to the bosses, especially the new management. I never wanted to be a suck up. Not my style.

The new LLNS management laid me off in May. In some work groups, the younger employees that had less seniority got to keep their jobs. The older employees were sent home and told to never come back. Seems to me that is age discrimination.

"I never wanted to be a suck up."

So what you are really saying is they dumped you because you wouldn't suck up, not because of your age. Oops. Guess you won't be joining in the age discrimination suit but rather the suck-up discrimination suit. I think your chances are slim at best. I have to go suck up to the boss now so I can collect my 100k/year salary.In leaving I wish you good luck in your struggle for equality.

Just FYI the lawsuit is about much more than age discrimination. It will include all facets of discrimination: Race, Gender, Age,
Disability,and Veterans. Having seen the people axed by the lab I would say they have a case. If they don't then everyone still working there is in deep trouble.

If there was a chance at the law suit winning the lawyers would NOT be asking for money "up front."

I wonder if you ever hired an attorney. All of them require some type of retainer and in this case they are willing to waive that. Clearly you don't have the facts straight.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Trump is to gut the labs.

By scooby
The budget has a 20% decrease to DOE office of science, 20% cut to NIH. NASA also gets a cut. This will  have a huge negative effect on the lab. Crazy, juts crazy. He also wants to cut NEA and PBS, this may not seem like  a big deal but they get very little money and do great things.

LLNL un-diversity

By scooby
Actual post from Dec. 15 from one of the streams. This is a real topic. As far as promoting women and minorities even if their qualifications are not as good as the white male scientists, I am all for it. We need diversity at the lab and if that is what it takes, so be it.  Quit your whining. Look around the lab, what do you see? White male geezers. How many African Americans do you see at the lab? Virtually none. LLNL is one of the MOST undiverse places you will see. Face it folks, LLNL is an institution of white male privilege and they don't want to give up their privileged positions. California, a state of majority Hispanics has the "crown jewel" LLNL nestled in the middle of it with very FEW Hispanics at all!
