10 CFR 707
Workplace Substance Abuse Programs at DOE Sites
Public Forums via Videoconferencing

The public forums on the new drug testing and security clearance requirements for DOE contractors are scheduled for January 16, 17, 22, and 23, 2008, from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Standard Time). The purpose of the forums is to give each contractor affected by the new requirements the opportunity to voice their views and assist the Department in identifying any issues requiring resolutions. The forums will be conducted via videoconferencing at DOE sites. Attached is a list of the videoconference sites with a call-in number for telephone participation. Please note videoconferencing will be linked on a first-come first-serve basis for each day. If you have any questions regarding the videoconference, please contact Bill McArthur or Jacqueline Rogers. Specific questions regarding video links and setups should be directed to HSS User Support at (301) 903-8358.

Can't Do The Time, Don't Do The Crime

And the VSIP list just got a lot bigger than expected. It's either go now and take the severance pay or we'll catch you later and get you'll get the boot. It's your choice.

I'm assuming everyone in ULM will be tested first before any of the blue collar workers are called into medical or told to reports to a designated sampling station to pee in a bottle or to give a _hair folical_ for examination of previous long term usage, correct? Lets not do like we did their LLNS security clearances and over look the obvious.

One can only assume this means if you're a user and know eventually you're going to get caught you might as well take the incentive and run because if you don't stay at LLNL and get caught you won't get a dime if randomly tested and found positive via the drug testing policy. I agree 100%. If I were even an occasional user I'd take LLNS up on the VSIP severance package as soon as it was offered. It's better to have gotten something than to get nothing at all except to be unemployed with a record to follow.

Yes a VSIP should be offered. Lets hope that George hints on this Thursday.

No VSIP - No lottery winners at LLNL. The druggies will get a chance to admit they have a problem and go through rehab IF they ask prior to drug testing - otherwise they boot you out the door and take your clearance. If you're doing illegal drugs, and work at LLNL, then you're in the wrong line of work.

I agree that doing druggs and working at LLNL dont mix. While I also shudder at companies requiring mandatory drug testing, any person who supports LLNL by working for them has already compromised their personal liberties--- (either by working on weapons or by building up the Big Brother state through development of homeland surveillance technologies...) yeah- its ironic to me that someone who builds spy-cams would claim that their own behaviors should be held away from public scrutiny.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

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.

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

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!
