Taxpayers won’t have to pay Hanford contractor’s costs in discrimination lawsuit
"The appeals court upheld an April 2018 decision of the U.S. Court of Federal Claims that the Department of Energy did not need to reimburse Bechtel National $500,000 for its legal defense costs in discrimination lawsuits filed by two employees. Both were fired. Bechtel argued that previously DOE had always reimbursed Bechtel for its costs to defend and settle lawsuits, including employment discrimination claims."

"Bechtel argued that previously DOE had always reimbursed Bechtel for its costs to defend and settle lawsuits, including employment discrimination claims."
At least in this case, it looks like DOE refused to further enable Bechtel's employee treatment practices, and as such, deemed Bechtel's related legal expenses unallowable for reimbursement. Good for DOE!
This must be rare and local to Hanford. Bechtel wouldn't expect question free legal fee reimbursements at LANL or LLNL right?
