Ha funny pay your dues to the IBEW.
they will stand up for you no worrys.
when I was there I was with the OCAW .
Hanford will be around for year to come it is a place that will never be cleaned up .
PFP that was know as 234-5 Z plant , redox  T plant , B Plant and U plant, we even stored navel used fuel in T plant. buried Surrys steam Gennys in east area. plus 21 navy reactors . I never had the pleasure of working at Purex. spent 6 years in tanks farms and ran the 242s.  Helped start the core drill machines for the tank farms so they could track what was in the waste in the tank farms.
some of the best operators I worked with are still there. when the Vit plant comes on line that will be something it was being planned when I left in 87.
it is funny I took mt father down to what is now HEHF to get his medical records they show history of him being treated from 1960 to 1985 when he retired in 87 he was taken to a room and briefed on a uptake they been tracking since 1966 in red on the bottom it stated worker was never informed. 420 rem to his lungs embeded PU238 and 239 decaying to AM241. 
I worked with the men who pull the atomic man out of the room in 1976 . and I was with thecrew that sealed the room when it was decided they could never recover the room it was painted white and sealed.
oh and Purex has a room called the white room . it was the way to contain the problem.
I worked b plant when it was shut down and we were all moved to other areas to work in the end tanks farms sent out the field every day in the box trucks and just hung out do to lack of work,
at one point the guards dropped a M16 out its chopper into the west area trench.
there was some interesting things that went on during the time when the plants were running.
to all of you still out the cheers and go by the dugout and help my friend get his retirement plan built up.

I have seen very little out of our "union" that would qualify as standing up for you.  Unless of course you dont show up, fail drug tests, etc.  After seeing other unions in action, this is a poor excuse.

Does anyone really think a strike is a possibility?
