Lawrence Livermore lab to lay off 535 employees
The Daily Californian: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory will lay off 535 employees beginning as early as mid-May, officials announced Tuesday.
The lab will release full-time employees who largely work in administration, in addition to scientists and engineers, said lab spokesperson Lynda Seaver. The last time it let go of permanent workers was 35 years ago.
"We're doing everything to make sure we still meet our mission, but obviously this does have an effect," Seaver said. "There are a lot of good people we're going to have to release."
