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...

If its critical for someone to work on the furlough-like day then pay them.
State and federal labor relations boards would be quite interested in abuses of this sort.
Management needs to speak up in a loud and clear voice on this issue.
is a typical union entitlement troublemaker. Trust me on this.
The tactic is always to cause unrest against any company. like a leech.
Wave of Federal Retirees to Hit Government (CNN)
6-13-13
The U.S. government could soon be facing a shortage of workers.
Some 30% of the federal workforce will be eligible to retire in the next three years, according to a Government Accountability Office report. That means the government could be hit by a wave of retirements at a time when it is already dealing with inadequate staffing, because large numbers of employees are on furlough and hiring freezes are in place to save money and dramatically shrink the federal budget deficit.
The dedicated employee game where the "Good" ones work for free and the "Bad" don't is called undue influence by the various labor relations board.
The 10% reduction in labor is a double edged sword. Labor costs are reduced by 10%, but labor itself is reduced by 10% too. They go together.
Management needs to take that extra step to ensure employees are protected.
Shouldn't the funds have been used to help the most people / programs possible?

You need to ensure that you are not beating your wife.
If its critical for you beat your wife, then report yourself to the police
State and federal police would be quite interested in abuses of this sort.

There is a policy. Go read it.

Why it becomes a non NIF crisis is silly. Why it becomes a non NIF cost is creative book keeping.
Sure, ULM always evaluates all possibilities and always selects the ONE that will hurt employees the most.
That's so childish, I'm surprised your parents let you play on the internet.
Sure seems like a NIF problem.
It's not a simple matter of "silly" for the discipline organizations that have to received people "returned" by a highly matrixed program like NIF.
For "exempt" employees, not on hourly wages, what is not allowed is failing to charge one's time proportionately. The 41st through 45th hours are not free, they are just part of what gets normalized to a 40-hour time card report.
No.
This may have been stated on this blog, but it's simply not true.
Maybe Parney should put that $80M + the $40M he owes into the TCP-1 pension program as he was deiced to do instead of gambling with everyone future thinking the economy is recovering and he can make up that $120M in stock market gains that'll never disappear in a heartbeat.
I agree. That 80m + 40m should go in to the pension. We're all paying in, they should too.
They used the old criteria (past 2 yrs of bond yields) to force us to pay in and then the new criteria (past 25 years of bond yields) to exempt them from paying in.
Very deceptive and not above board.
