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!

Vic Reis also said that privatization of the labs was a failure.

The incompetent electrician is a LANS employee hired by an incompetent LANS Manager. LANS is incompetent from the top to the bottom

Are you kidding me. LANS is doing everything they can to cover-up this one too. The "investigation" is ongoing. Pictures were shown of the open junction box that was left open with multiple wires protruding outside the box from construction of the building. I also heard there were multiple violations of the electric code, apparently multiple voltage wires inside the box.
The electrical worker was shocked so bad, he was unable to free himself from the source and had to kick the ladder he was standing on to free himself falling 5-feet to the floor. He had a severe burn to his hand. They were apparently performing an inspection of the building alarm system and removed a ceiling tile when they observed the open box. What happened next is unclear.

Los Alamos National Laboratory, Technical Area 55
Unexpected Personal Contact with Electrical Hazardous Energy - (Significance Category 2)
On February 26, 2016, an employee received an electric shock while tracing 277-volt lighting conduit in the ceiling. The employee received a burn to his hand and was taken to occupational medicine for evaluation where he was released to return to work without restrictions. All ceiling work was paused and an extent of condition was performed. After the event, it was determined that the employee had contacted an electrical circuit.

It would be EXTREMELY surprising, since no other incidents; safety, security, financial, or management failures, have done so.
What sort of "contract action" are you looking for, a firing squad? The facts are bad enough. Breathless generalities only hurt your credibility.

None of those constituted "contract action." Duh. Breathless??? Huh? Better than brainless I guess.
