LLNL Retiree Settlement

Where are the actual details of how the LLNL Retiree Settlement will be implemented? This surely must be a public document currently available now or in the very near future. I want to see the formulas used to calculate the payments I and whoever else wants to see what they are eligible for. Trust but verify.

LLNL retirees currently receive $2450/year to draw from to cover the cost of medical premiums. That is not enough to fully cover Kaiser Senior Advantage premiums and there is a shortfall every November or December. Who knows how much a current vested UC retiree who worked on one of the UC campuses gets to draw against? Surely this number is greater than $2450/year. If current vested UC retirees receive much more than $2450/year how will this be addressed?

The question "If current vested UC retirees receive much more than $2450/year how will this be addressed?" was answered at the time of the contract change. Remember the phrase SUBSTANTIALLY EQUIVALENT?

Your subsidy runs out in November - well you've gotten 80% of your premiums covered which a lot of people would consider a good deal. UC fought this case tooth and nail, don't expect them rush out with a silver platter. What we learned from this is that as employees of Los Alamos and Livermore, we were the red headed step children, tolerated but not really part of the family.

When will the settlement checks be mailed? My understanding is that they were supposed to go out in July, and we did confirm with Archer that they got our paperwork, but we have cobwebs in our mailbox instead of a check. Has anyone gotten theirs yet?

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!
