Thank you SPSE-UPTE for your offer to assist the career workers that were laid off from LLNL on May 22 and May 23. I have 3 decades of faithful and productive service to LLNL. I have a perfect work history and always got very good or outstanding employee appraisals and was told on 5-22-08 to get out and we don't want you back. For Management to treat me and my co-workers like they did on the lay off day was outrageous.

I will take your advice and file a complaint resolution form before June 20 as the seniority rules were not followed in my work group. One big issue is the lay off unit I was placed in - management won't tell me which one my co-workers and I were placed in. All of us that were unfairly laid off need to FIGHT BACK.

Anyone know the name of a good Labor Law attorney that has many years of experience with this type of case as I believe a class action suit should be started.

You needed to fight back a LONG time ago. Instead the employees let themselves be picked off one by one, hoping the axe would hit someone else.

I truly wish a class-action suit would suceed. But being a pragmatic person, most likely the sheep will continue to bleet and not much else will happen.

I have a feeling that even though there are a lot of valuable career employees that were unfairly laid off and really should fight this illegal lay off, most will just move on with their life without filing a greivence or working with a attorney. Keeping quiet is exactly what LLNS management wants them to do.

Don't lay down - don't be a sheep - take the time to fight this lay off. A good employment law attorney might be able to get you some money for your pain, suffering and the financial loss.

Plutonium Shots on NIF.

By scooby
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.

By scooby
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

By scooby
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!
