"In my opinion, Stuart was blacklisted and is without a job since 2007 because of his willingness to raise integrity and safety issues," Flaherty said. "In addition to the pain Sneed has experienced for doing the right thing," Flaherty expressed "a deep concern that other workers may not raise safety and other issues to management that need attention, because they are well aware of what happened to Stuart Sneed."

Flaherty said he did not know why Sporkin's letter contained incorrect information. He said he didn't see it until after it was sent to Congress, but he advised Sporkin that the facts surrounding the 2008 case in his letter were incorrect. According to an investigator on the Energy Committee, Sporkin never did contact them with corrections.

Kovac and other BP employees said they don't believe BP has the wherewithal to tackle the issues plaguing Prudhoe Bay.

"This company seems incapable of managing its assets safely," Kovac said.
