HHS Reverses All NIOSH Layoffs, Reinstating Every Affected Worker
TL;DR
The Department of Health and Human Services has revoked all layoff notices at the CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, reinstating every employee who received a reduction-in-force notice. This completes a reversal that began with a partial reinstatement last year (about 328 of 1,000) after union and bipartisan pressure, and comes amid staffing concerns, ongoing lawsuits, and calls from lawmakers for broader restoration of NIOSH programs.
