I agree with the comment that the Managers who ran that illegal lay off
should be fired - starting with the LIRC committee comprised of:
Bruce Warner, Art Wong, Gaby Odell, Marina Gonzalez, Bob Perko, and Renee Breyer - high dollar folks of which at least one of them as been double dipping since October 2007. They are an embarrassment to the Lab posing as competent leaders -let them feel the pain of having your career stripped out from under them - they are all over 50 - let them see how quick they can find another job in this economy.

This is a serious question, not intended to be inflammatory. Are there actual laws that control this somehow?
People over 40 are protected.
You have no right. Out of money, your gone. It's as simple as that. No one in their right mind is going to keep people on they have no use for and can not afford to pay.
Gaby Odell already retired/left the Lab about a year ago.
The rest of these people are laughing or will be laughing at our comments on this blog if they get to read them. Reason for their laughing? They are are high pay bosses, they are "valued" by the lab and they have high profile teams of lawyers to protect them.
It needs an iron hand of a director who has integrity to do a good cleaning out of many managers at the lab. At this present time, Perney ain't it.
Managers rarely fire managers (note the high manager to worker ratio), and
Support employees tax programmatic employees, so they will always have money (note the high support to programmatic ratio).
These two area increase overhead.
Now let's look at California (Fair Employment and Housing Act) "This law specifically provides protection from harassment or discrimination in employment because of: Age (40 and over)"
I am just curious in your rant if you can point me to where younger workers are protected (apart form you inner mind)? I am not arguing that there may be other laws protecting workers, but my understanding that there are no DISCRIMINATION laws (Federal or State) that protect workers under 40. After all, the lawsuit was about discrimination and the first comment in this was about firing everyone over 50 (which is illegal).
