My take: there were enough 'stories' discussed about the improprieties of the layoff that the over 40 folks probably will have a case for age discrimination. Not sure about others.
Law firm was collecting data to see if their is a case. Next step is for them to discuss with others and if they decide to take case, they will convene again with only those who requested using their services in a suite.
Judging from the array of people I saw in attendance LLNS had their heads in a southerly region of their anatomy on this one. There are definitely grounds for unlawful termination on several counts. This type of behavior is what they warn employers not to do.
At least one thing I noticed that the attorneys didn't tell the truth about--they said Lab arbitration only gets you reinstatement and backpay. If you read the policy it says you can get anything you could get in court, and the Lab pays for the hearing. If you read the papers this morning this is the same firm that just lost the case in the Supreme Court that they filed against the Lab. I'm going for a second opinion.
LLNS, NNSA nor DOE cares about any lawsuit. They have had funds set-aside in preparation to settle out of court OR dismiss the allegations. Disgusted!!
