Can new plaintiffs join the suit?
At this point in the legal action, it is difficult and not immediately helpful to add any plaintiffs to the case. On the other hand, anyone who wants to submit a declaration describing his/her own experience with the process and explaining how he/she would be harmed if the background checks go forward is welcome to do so. Contact Bob Nelson for details. Later on, when the question of certifying the lawsuit as a class action is considered, it might be helpful to add plaintiffs from nontechnical employment categories. If you are interested in participating as a potential plaintiff from a non-science or engineering category, please contact Bob Nelson for details.
