Y-12 UNION RAISES COMPLAINTS ABOUT LONG WORK HOURS FOR GUARDS

摘要

The union representing protective force officers at the Y-12 National Security Complex has lodged a complaint with the Department of Energy's Office of Inspector General alleging that guards at the site are being forced to work too much overtime in the wake of the July 28 security breach at the facility. Randy Lawson, the president of the International Guards Union of America Local 3, told NW&M Monitor that some guards at the site are working in excess of 80 hours a week as site management deals with the fallout from the security breach. Since the breach, Y-12 workers have received additional security training, new barriers have been installed to add protection to the site, and security patrols have increased.
