Please list this as a new topic, I would really like this to be published to show what SPSE is or isn't doing about this subject.

It only affects the 9 skilled craftsmen in plant who were axed, but the unions stand in this matter shows the true support they have for the members.

What happened to those Union members who were laid off (those skilled craftsmen in plant) before a contract was negotiated? Everytime a question is asked about this, we see this drivel about the age discrimination suit. Since the union was officially recognised, it WAS illegal for them to be subject to layoff before a contract was negotiated. This fact seems to be side-stepped everytime the question is asked. So I will ask it again, what is the union doing about it? seems like nothing to me, like I said earlier, they have the contract ( albeit a very unusually short contract at that) and who cares about the ones who got screwed? I know you are hearing organize!! But if I were you I would wait and see what happends to those few who were screwed over, when they had so-called "protection" by signing a union card. How the union takes care of its smaller supporters will show how much of what they say is pure BS or not.

The case of the 9 unit members that where laid off is being handled by the NLRB (NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD); The board is representing the union againest LLNS unlawful termination of the 9 members:(US GOVT. VS LLNS) the wheels of justice turn slowly.

I don't think anything will be done about it. They have the contract now, they receive the dues now, so the attitude is who cares?

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!
