“It is making our work unsafe, and it is anxious for any workplace,” said a Montelik researcher, but especially an active laboratory full of fire -powered chemicals and bacteria.
Press officers from the Department of Commerce, and the White House NoAA did not respond to the commentary requests.
Montelik employees were told last week that a contract for safety services, including staff that transmits laboratory waste to designated disposal sites outside the campus will end after April 9, and only one person will be left responsible for the work. Employees were warned in a recent email that “lifting the labs could be delayed.”
The construction maintenance team’s deal ended Wednesday, which ended the staff, which handled plumbing, HVAC and the elevators. The second contacts ended at the end of March, leaving the Seattle Lab with zero staff and a skeleton staff of IT experts.
During a major staff meeting in Montelik on Wednesday, lab leaders said they had no refreshments about when the contracts could be renewed, a researcher said. He also acknowledged that it was unfair that everyone would need to prepare for the top level duties of their original jobs.
The Montelik employees’ union representative, Nick Tolmeeri, said the issue was a “all part of a massive bullying program” to advance federal workers. It seems that every Friday “we get a message that makes you unable to sleep throughout the weekend.” Now, with these termination contracts, it is becoming “more and more thick.”
Big and small in Montel, problems provide a case study of chaos that has surrounded federal workers in many agencies because the Trump administration has fired staff, thrown contracts, and has long eliminated operational assistance.
