What is with all the the Boeing stuff? What does it have to do with LLNL?
“What is with all the Boeing stuff? What does it have to do with LLNL?”
DOE has a history of ignoring acts whistleblower retaliation by its lab contractors against their employees. The retaliation motive being, lab LLC award fee amounts can be negatively impacted by project delays, attention directed to subpar safety, poor engineering controls, etc. You might want to look into it if you’re interested.
In the Boeing situation, leadership are alleged to have willfully ignored whistleblower safety concerns, willfully deceived investigators, and sanctioned employee retaliation in order to keep said safety concerns silenced. This kind of safety culture is alleged to be related to the deaths of Boeing passengers.
This is happening today at LLNL, everyone else just looks the other way and pretends that nothing is happening.
“This is happening today at LLNL, everyone else just looks the other way and pretends that nothing is happening.”
Are you referring to LLNL as a whole, or a particular Directorate or Department within LLNL?
“This is happening today at LLNL, everyone else just looks the other way and pretends that nothing is happening.”
Sometimes, people “look the other way” because in doing so, it prevents having to deal with personal ownership of the situation, however small or large that ownership might be. This is a well established lab culture that exists to this day.
Is there a real path, where a Federal DOE Lab Contractor can also be held accountable, criminal or otherwise, for whistleblower actions?

Question answered?

The problem is Boeing does something, it builds airplanes. If the planes do not work they have a problem. Other companies build planes and can take Boeings business.
LLNL and LANL have no product that can be tested. There is no competition either. LLNs, LANS, Bechtel, whoever can run it has bad as they want.
What irks me is not only Bechtel taking advantage of DOE's incompentence but the LLNL and LANL people who collaborated with them and "polished" their shoes. They know who they are especially in HR and computations.
Some people just don't have a backbone!
“LLNL and LANL have no product that can be tested. There is no competition either. LLNs, LANS, Bechtel, whoever can run it has bad as they want.”
Unfortunately, you are 100% correct. They are perverse “for-profit” federal contracts by any free market standard with negative consequences for the mission and for their dedicated workforce. What will the 2026 contract change bring to LLNL?
“…They know who they are especially in HR…”
LLNS HR as an employee protector via LLNS policies, is a complete sham. LLNS HR is 100% subservient to LLNS staff relations, and LLNS staff relations, is a 100% subservient to the for-profit LLNS LLC. That is where we are now, and have been for years.
Many of the technical, manufacturing, plant maintenance and janitorial staff at the labs have a first hand experience dealing with the issues of the environmental issues surrounding their work. Their bodies have the scars from some of this work no way around that. After 2020 I would definitely say many of those above workers have scars that are not visible. While they apparently might not be working on something as important as aircraft they are still suffering from this for the rest of their lives as DOE contract employees. And the threats of retaliation should not be on the table, but apparently it is ok to walk on the people that are performing this work, deny them proper PPE, testing for hazardous materials prior to performing work, forcing hourly workers to work through their brakes and unpaid lunch periods.
