Protest at the west gate?

Anonymously contributed:

When I left work today, there were a bunch of people with signs at the West Gate. They looked like UPTE. Does anyone know what was going on? Was there any impact?

It was us UPTE local 11 LLNL skill crafts; we were protesting health and safety standards that ULM LLNS has adopted; reactive to maintenance failures instead of proactive; run to fail on equipment; allowing un qualified personnel to preform maintenace task that skilled personnel where doing before the transition.

It looks like plant engineering and site maintenance has taken most of the hit. You can pay 4 skill craft people with one upper manager who doesn't do anything. The upper management talks about safety but they do not walk the talk.

There was no impact. It's business as usual and the freight train is still rolling at max speed. Don't get in its way. Next stop, planing commission for next years RIF and then it on to station 3161 when the FY-09 budget is realized.

I'd say you all better be watching for the 49 a month from now on and report them MIA as they occur. There where LLNS will get their head count without the press knowing it.

protest at the gate = waste of time and energy. LLNS don't care. Party over, period. Your job is just a job and that's the end of that subject matter.
