Bechtel runs the show and will keep running this show.

"This new GAO report makes clear that the Department of Energy has utterly failed to protect whistleblowers from retaliation by its contractors,” Markey said. “Whistleblowers are our modern day Paul Reveres, shedding light on unsafe, wasteful and possible illegal activities. They should be applauded and rewarded, not threatened and fired. And the American taxpayer should not foot the bill for legal fees for DOE contractors who’ve engaged in wrongdoing. DOE must hold its contractors accountable for engaging in retaliation and harassment and reform this dangerous culture of disregard for the law.”

DOE holding Bechtel accountable....good one.

Only time will tell if this GAO report and Senator Markey's loss of faith in DOE to resolve these problems represents an inflection point for retaliation against whistleblower employees from DOE and its contractors. The next DOE Secretary candidate and other high level DOE officials, will certainly face scrutinizing appointment committees if these problems are not quickly resolved by DOE.

I wrote a book about this very subject, and the moderator of this blog was kind enough to mention it awhile back. Title is: Los Alamos: A Whistleblower's Diary.

Whistleblower policy has been "maintained", by proclamation not by enforcement.
