Summary

The Trump administration abruptly fired multiple National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) employees, then struggled to reinstate some due to a lack of updated contact information.

The NNSA, which oversees the U.S. nuclear stockpile, asked remaining employees to relay the message.

The terminations, part of mass federal layoffs orchestrated by Trump and Elon Musk, coincided with a Russian drone strike on Chernobyl, raising security concerns.

    Or unionize as consultants, at double the pay, plus benefits.

      Not sure its unionizing - just charging the market rate for highly valued skills and knowledge. We should be infuriated as tax payers that we are going to end up paying more because of this debacle.
