Date: Monday, January 28, 2019, 11:06 AM They are currently predicting significant snow/sleet/ice accumulations that will affect the commute. And, I have just been advised that the weather may prompt office closures; out of an abundance of caution, would you like to reschedule for perhaps Thursday of next week. Also, depending on your current circumstances, I can certainly still travel to Chattanooga. | |||

That is correct; however, our area is under a winter-storm watch, so we certainly can reschedule for next week or wait until we receive TVA's response. | |||
At this point, the only information that I believe may be helpful, if available, would be performance evaluations and any documentation reflecting your engagement in protected activity (e.g. | |||
raising specific safety-related concerns). | |||

Date: Monday, January 28, 2019, 11:06 AM They are currently predicting significant snow/sleet/ice accumulations that will affect the commute. And, I have just been advised that the weather may prompt office closures; out of an abundance of caution, would you like to reschedule for perhaps Thursday of next week. Also, depending on your current circumstances, I can certainly still travel to Chattanooga. | |||

Date: Monday, January 28, 2019, 9:00 AM Ms. Wetzel: | |||
That is correct; however, our area is under a winter-storm watch, so we certainly can reschedule for next week or wait until we receive TVA's response. | |||
At this point, the only information that I believe may be helpful, if available, would be performance evaluations and any documentation reflecting your engagement in protected activity (e.g. | |||
raising specific safety-related concerns). | |||
Thank you. | |||

Thank you for taking my call. As you know, TVAs position statement in the above referenced matter is due Wednesday, February 13, 2019. Ms. Wetzel has requested mediation through Nuclear Regulatory Commissions Alternative Dispute Resolution program with Cornell University. We will be agreeing to proceed with mediation. | |||
As discussed on our call, thank you for providing an additional 30 day extension in light of the parties intentions to proceed with mediation. TVAs new response date will be Friday, March 15, 2019. | |||
Once the date for mediation is confirmed, TVA will inform you of that date and keep you appraised as to the results of mediation. | |||

==Dear Ms. Fehlman:== | |||
Thank you for granting an extension of time to respond to the original complaint and for providing notice that an amended complaint has been filed. | |||
TVA would like to file one position statement addressing both the original complaint and the amended complaint. I have not received the amended complaint yet, but will endeavor to file a combined response by February 13, 2019 if possible. However, if after a review of the amended complaint proves that additional, internal investigations are needed, I may need to request an extension to respond to the new allegations in the amended complaint. | |||

Mr. Chin: | |||
Thank you for your notice of representation. February 13, 2019 for submission of the position statement will be fine. However, please be advised that Ms. Wetzel has actually filed an amendment to her original complaint alleging a retaliatory termination, the formal notification letters have already been sent via USPS. I assume TVA would prefer to answer both complaints in a single submission, therefore, we could certainly push the response date back in order to provide a sufficient time for you to investigate the most recent allegation. | |||
Thank you. | |||

TVA received your letter providing notice and enclosing the complaint by Ms. Beth Wetzel, who is represented by Mr. Alan Kabat, on Friday, January 11, 2019. I was assigned to respond to this | |||
Complaint and received a copy on my desk on Monday, January 14, 2019. | |||
I am in the process of collecting and reviewing relevant materials and setting up interviews with relevant witnesses in preparation for TVAs position statement. I believe I will be able to complete my review, interview witnesses, and file TVAs position statement in the next 2-3 weeks. Out of an abundance of caution, I would like to request a 10-day extension on the 20 day period to respond, which would be February 13, 2019 if time is computed based on the date that I received a copy of the Complaint. | |||

She signed an agreement to mediate. The next step would be to wait and see if TVA agrees to mediate. If they dont agree to mediate, or the mediation doesnt reach a settlement, then our investigators would initiate an investigation. | |||

At this point, the only information that I believe may be helpful, if available, would be performance evaluations and any documentation reflecting your engagement in protected activity (e.g. | |||
raising specific safety-related concerns). | |||
Thank you. | |||

Date: Monday, January 28, 2019, 11:06 AM They are currently predicting significant snow/sleet/ice accumulations that will affect the commute. And, I have just been advised that the weather may prompt office closures; out of an abundance of caution, would you like to reschedule for perhaps Thursday of next week. Also, depending on your current circumstances, I can certainly still travel to Chattanooga. | |||

==Dear Ms. Fehlman:== | |||
Thank you for granting an extension of time to respond to the original complaint and for providing notice that an amended complaint has been filed. | |||
TVA would like to file one position statement addressing both the original complaint and the amended complaint. I have not received the amended complaint yet, but will endeavor to file a combined response by February 13, 2019 if possible. However, if after a review of the amended complaint proves that additional, internal investigations are needed, I may need to request an extension to respond to the new allegations in the amended complaint. | |||

Mr. Chin: | |||
Thank you for your notice of representation. February 13, 2019 for submission of the position statement will be fine. However, please be advised that Ms. Wetzel has actually filed an amendment to her original complaint alleging a retaliatory termination, the formal notification letters have already been sent via USPS. I assume TVA would prefer to answer both complaints in a single submission, therefore, we could certainly push the response date back in order to provide a sufficient time for you to investigate the most recent allegation. | |||

RE: TVA/Wetzel Ms. Fehlman, Thanks for the query. As it happens, Feb. 1 is a date I cannot do, as I have a legal conference that day. Although I do not plan to attend your meeting with Ms. Wetzel, I will be available by phone or email in case you or she should have questions. | |||
I have conferred with Ms. Wetzel, and she would prefer to travel to Atlanta and meet with you in the OSHA office. The problem with meeting in a library or coffee shop in Chattanooga is that she could easily be recognized by a fellow TVA employee and there would be a lack of privacy. | |||
Our availability in January remains unchanged: we are not available on January 8 or 24, and I have mid-day commitments (from about 1130 to 2) on January 10, 11, and 16. In early February, we are generally available except for February 1 and 14. | |||

I have been assigned to investigate the complaint you filed on behalf of your client, Beth Wetzel. I will be preparing the necessary letters docketing this matter as soon as practicable, but if you require an immediate discussion, please let me know. | |||
I would also like to request, if available, an electronic copy of the copy/attachments. Finally, I would like to meet with Ms. Wetzel to discuss the allegations, if you could please assess both of your availabilities in the coming weeks, it would be appreciated. | |||

RE: TVA/Wetzel Date: Sunday, January 06, 2019 3:38:35 PM Attachments: image001.png Ms. Fehlman, Thanks for the query. As it happens, Feb. 1 is a date I cannot do, as I have a legal conference that day. Although I do not plan to attend your meeting with Ms. Wetzel, I will be available by phone or email in case you or she should have questions. | |||
I have conferred with Ms. Wetzel, and she would prefer to travel to Atlanta and meet with you in the OSHA office. The problem with meeting in a library or coffee shop in Chattanooga is that she could easily be recognized by a fellow TVA employee and there would be a lack of privacy. | |||
Our availability in January remains unchanged: we are not available on January 8 or 24, and I have mid-day commitments (from about 1130 to 2) on January 10, 11, and 16. In early February, we are generally available except for February 1 and 14. | |||

Mr. Kabat: | |||
Understood. Can we tentatively schedule the interview, in Chattanooga, for Friday, February 1st. | |||
Unless your client has an objection, I generally find a public meeting place to have the discussion (i.e. | |||
a library or coffee shop). I can forward the location and time once that date is confirmed. | |||

Also, FYI. I was interviewed by Scott Luina from NRC OI last week. He asked for some additional documents. Scott said that NRC and OSHA have an MOU and he will be sharing information with you. I'm going to forward you the 2 e-mails I sent him, so you have what I've given him.

That is correct; however, our area is under a winter-storm watch, so we certainly can reschedule for next week or wait until we receive TVA's response.
At this point, the only information that I believe may be helpful, if available, would be performance evaluations and any documentation reflecting your engagement in protected activity (e.g.
raising specific safety-related concerns).
Thank you.

Date: Monday, January 28, 2019, 9:00 AM Ms. Wetzel:
That is correct; however, our area is under a winter-storm watch, so we certainly can reschedule for next week or wait until we receive TVA's response.
At this point, the only information that I believe may be helpful, if available, would be performance evaluations and any documentation reflecting your engagement in protected activity (e.g.
raising specific safety-related concerns).
Thank you.

Dear Ms. Fehlman,
Thank you for taking my call. As you know, TVAs position statement in the above referenced matter is due Wednesday, February 13, 2019. Ms. Wetzel has requested mediation through Nuclear Regulatory Commissions Alternative Dispute Resolution program with Cornell University. We will be agreeing to proceed with mediation.
As discussed on our call, thank you for providing an additional 30 day extension in light of the parties intentions to proceed with mediation. TVAs new response date will be Friday, March 15, 2019.
Once the date for mediation is confirmed, TVA will inform you of that date and keep you appraised as to the results of mediation.

Dear Ms. Fehlman:
Thank you for granting an extension of time to respond to the original complaint and for providing notice that an amended complaint has been filed.
TVA would like to file one position statement addressing both the original complaint and the amended complaint. I have not received the amended complaint yet, but will endeavor to file a combined response by February 13, 2019 if possible. However, if after a review of the amended complaint proves that additional, internal investigations are needed, I may need to request an extension to respond to the new allegations in the amended complaint.

Mr. Chin:
Thank you for your notice of representation. February 13, 2019 for submission of the position statement will be fine. However, please be advised that Ms. Wetzel has actually filed an amendment to her original complaint alleging a retaliatory termination, the formal notification letters have already been sent via USPS. I assume TVA would prefer to answer both complaints in a single submission, therefore, we could certainly push the response date back in order to provide a sufficient time for you to investigate the most recent allegation.
Thank you.

Dear Ms. Lauren Fehlman,
TVA received your letter providing notice and enclosing the complaint by Ms. Beth Wetzel, who is represented by Mr. Alan Kabat, on Friday, January 11, 2019. I was assigned to respond to this
Complaint and received a copy on my desk on Monday, January 14, 2019.
I am in the process of collecting and reviewing relevant materials and setting up interviews with relevant witnesses in preparation for TVAs position statement. I believe I will be able to complete my review, interview witnesses, and file TVAs position statement in the next 2-3 weeks. Out of an abundance of caution, I would like to request a 10-day extension on the 20 day period to respond, which would be February 13, 2019 if time is computed based on the date that I received a copy of the Complaint.
Respectfully, Steve Steve C.

TVA Case 4-1760-19-025 Date: Friday, February 01, 2019 12:31:57 PM FYI - Beth Wetzel emailed me back today. She indicated that she intends to attempt mediation via the NRCs program. She signed an agreement to mediate. The next step would be to wait and see if TVA agrees to mediate. If they dont agree to mediate, or the mediation doesnt reach a settlement, then our investigators would initiate an investigation.
Thanks.

Date: Monday, January 28, 2019, 9:00 AM Ms. Wetzel:
That is correct; however, our area is under a winter-storm watch, so we certainly can reschedule for next week or wait until we receive TVA's response.
At this point, the only information that I believe may be helpful, if available, would be performance evaluations and any documentation reflecting your engagement in protected activity (e.g.
raising specific safety-related concerns).
Thank you.

Dear Ms. Fehlman:
Thank you for granting an extension of time to respond to the original complaint and for providing notice that an amended complaint has been filed.
TVA would like to file one position statement addressing both the original complaint and the amended complaint. I have not received the amended complaint yet, but will endeavor to file a combined response by February 13, 2019 if possible. However, if after a review of the amended complaint proves that additional, internal investigations are needed, I may need to request an extension to respond to the new allegations in the amended complaint.

Mr. Chin:
Thank you for your notice of representation. February 13, 2019 for submission of the position statement will be fine. However, please be advised that Ms. Wetzel has actually filed an amendment to her original complaint alleging a retaliatory termination, the formal notification letters have already been sent via USPS. I assume TVA would prefer to answer both complaints in a single submission, therefore, we could certainly push the response date back in order to provide a sufficient time for you to investigate the most recent allegation.
Thank you.

Dear Ms. Lauren Fehlman,
TVA received your letter providing notice and enclosing the complaint by Ms. Beth Wetzel, who is represented by Mr. Alan Kabat, on Friday, January 11, 2019. I was assigned to respond to this Complaint and received a copy on my desk on Monday, January 14, 2019.
I am in the process of collecting and reviewing relevant materials and setting up interviews with relevant witnesses in preparation for TVAs position statement. I believe I will be able to complete my review, interview witnesses, and file TVAs position statement in the next 2-3 weeks. Out of an abundance of caution, I would like to request a 10-day extension on the 20 day period to respond, which would be February 13, 2019 if time is computed based on the date that I received a copy of the Complaint.
Respectfully, Steve

RE: TVA/Wetzel Ms. Fehlman, Thanks for the query. As it happens, Feb. 1 is a date I cannot do, as I have a legal conference that day. Although I do not plan to attend your meeting with Ms. Wetzel, I will be available by phone or email in case you or she should have questions.
I have conferred with Ms. Wetzel, and she would prefer to travel to Atlanta and meet with you in the OSHA office. The problem with meeting in a library or coffee shop in Chattanooga is that she could easily be recognized by a fellow TVA employee and there would be a lack of privacy.

RE: TVA/Wetzel Date: Friday, January 04, 2019 2:03:05 PM Attachments: image001.png Ms. Fehlman, Thanks, but I dont think it will be necessary for me to join. However, I can try to block the date/time on my calendar, in case either you or Ms. Wetzel needs to call me.
Right now, I have mid-day commitments (circa 1130-200) on these dates: January 10, 11, 16, and 24, but otherwise my calendar is mostly open this month.
