The blog entry "Seeking retiree's support" is out of date. We now have a New Web Site . We are working with three law firms and are collecting contributions for purchasing legal action. Our lawyers have done a preliminary analysis of our situation and believe the case should be pursued.
You will find the information posted on your blog In one of last year's status reports. Under the Status Reports heading on the left hand side of our main page, you will find a first in last out pushdown stack providing a history of our activities. There are also newspaper articles and other documents that may be of interest.
Anyone who would like to join our efforts can do so by clicking on "tell me yes" on the web site or sending their name and email address in an email to llnlretiree@comcast.net. Our only way of reaching retirees is by word of mouth since we can't obtain a list of retirees.

I think once people retire from this place the last thing they'll want to do is be involved in what's happening to LLNL. I know for me once I leave I will delete the URL and never visit again. There will be far to many things to do in a short period of time to concern myself with the national labs, our nuclear weapons stockpile, government waste, pay raises, ULM corruption, bonus checks or the injustice put upon its employees.
Think for a minute. You retire from LLNL does not mean you are done with LLNS. The provide your retirement benefits. They can reduce you health provider choices, increase your part of the premiums, etc...
That is why we have the retiree website to bring up issues!

And there is nothing you can do about it except ask whay is it that UC employees still get a lot better health care then LLNS does for a lot less. The problem is medical was never part of your retirement package which I found shocking after I retired. I was never told that when I was hired but still I have a lot more then anyone who works for LLNS now or in the future will ever have. Basically they now will have Americans working from 18 years old until death. get use to it newbees.

We were all told that medical benefits could change when we were hired. I remember it quite clearly and I have been at the lab for 32 years. You weren't paying attention.
The question is, does UC have the right to change the medical benefits provided for some retirees and not for others? This issue may ultimately have to be resolved in the courts.
UC does not provide retiree medical benefits for LLNS or LANS retirees, no matter when they retired, before or after the transition to corporate takeover. All LLNL and LANL retirees, even those who retired from UC before the transition, now have their retiree medical care under the corporate entities, not UC. If you are still complaining about that, that horse has left the barn.
