[LWVNM Action] Federal Workforce in New Mexico

[Barbara Calef]

Dick,
Most of the ~15,000 people working at LANL are not federal employees.
Since I have not seen the article, I don't know what it is claiming.  I
spoke to an NNSA employee on Sunday.  She said that NNSA has 80 people at
the Lab.
>From Google: *According to available information, while the exact number
fluctuates, around 120 DOE employees are stationed at Los Alamos National
Laboratory (LANL) to provide federal oversight over the laboratory's
operations, making them the primary "federal employees" within the LANL
workforce; the vast majority of LANL employees are not directly federal
employees but work for the contractor company that operates the lab, Triad
National Security, LLC. *
