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...

Suzanne D. Coyne issued the complaint against LANS and three co-workers including Nicholas Degidio, Gail McGuire and Jackie Little. Coyne's husband Robert J. Coyne Sr., joined her in the court action filed through their attorney, Paul W. Grace, Esq.
Grace spoke with the Los Alamos Daily Post and said that the complaint he filed on behalf of his clients is grounded on the wrongful treatment received by Suzanne Coyne as a LANL employee. Her claims are based in breach of contract, retaliation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, violations of the Family Medical Leave Act, and other wrongs committed against her by LANS and its management, agents and employees, including failure to follow policies and procedures relating to safety and security in the workplace, rights under the Family Medical Leave Act, reports of co-worker misconduct, and workplace violence..."
Sounds very much like the DOE 708 complaint filed against LLNS in 2014. LANSLLNS Coincidence? Right.
Its spelled "LANSLLNSBECHTAL".
But here is something to keep in mind. If you are being harassed, threatened, verbally or physically abused, immediately open your door and call out to colleagues. Get some witnesses ! Confront the abuser in front of witnesses so the abuser will incriminate themselves - in the heat of the moment. Call Security and file a report. Then go through your management chain.

To avoid and defend against "independent observer" or "3rd Party" legal entanglements, LANSLLNS managers will demand last minute meetings with no stated agenda in the hope you will not have adequate time to request 3rd party attendance.
Such meetings are usually held in the managers domain surrounded by manager subordinates, therefore "opening the door" will have minimal impact.
If you request a delay (not refuse) to attend such a meeting without a 3rd party present, you will be charged with insubordination.
However, if an employee requests a "policy clarification" type "one to one" meeting with Manager A, you can be assured Manager A will arrange for uninvited Managers B and C to attend before agreeing to attend your meeting, if they respond to your meeting proposal at all.
The employee has to determine if the LANSLLNS situation has a high likelihood of a positive outcome. If it does not, hire a lawyer and have your lawyer communicate his or her purpose to your managers and Staff Relations without delay.
