Compa Information

Frank,
You may find this interesting as you read their web page you find LANS has struck again as they are former BECHTEL employees that own this company.

COMPA is an award winning, family owned and operated business. Its current CEO is Ms. Edna Lopez. COMPA was originally founded by Rene Laform Lopez in 1986. Rene was a nuclear engineer, who worked for the Bechtel Group on multiple national and international power plant projects, until he decided to start his own business in 1986. Based on the core value of family, the business was named COMPA. The word "COMPA" comes from the Spanish word "compadre," which literally means "co-parent." The original partners of COMPA were a tight group of friends, who celebrated major family events and holidays with each other and even served as godparents for each other's children, hence COMPAs. As the business struggled in the early years, Rene’s partners eventually bowed out and left the dream to Rene and Edna. Always wanting to return to their native Southwest, the family Lopez moved the COMPA's headquarters to Albuquerque where the business continues today.

Preliminary review will mean a reduction in compensation as their 401k retirement is less than half what COMFORCE has me on.

To all staff augmentation contract employees at LANL:

Wishing you a warm greeting form the staff at Compa Industries.

As you may have heard, Los Alamos National Laboratory has recently issued a new contract to COMPA Industries to provide Workforce Management Solution (WMS) for contract labor. All of the current staff augmentation contracts currently held at LANL will be consolidated under this one new subcontract. What this means is that at the contract transition, which is scheduled for the week of June 28th, your assignment as a staff augmentation employee will be transitioned to the new Compa contract.

To keep you updated on the status of the transition and general information, we have set up a Compa transition web page at http://web.compa.com/lanl/index.html Please reference this web page for updated information including upcoming events in the transition. As we get more questions from the contract employees we will be posting them on the web site for your reference. We recognize that this change in contracts may bring questions and concerns about your specific job and how it will affect your employment status. We will do our best to answer your questions and provide a smooth transition.

We look forward meeting you personally and working with you in the future.
