Hundreds of CDC Staffers Reinstated After Trump Administration Firing Spree
Hundreds of CDC staffers fired by the Trump administration in 2020 have had their positions reinstated, according to the American Federation of Government Employees.
Hundreds of CDC staffers who were fired by the Trump administration in 2021 have had their jobs reinstated, according to the American Federation of Government Employees. The move comes after a new round of firings took place late Friday, with many staff members having been let go under the previous administration's orders. The CDC has not commented publicly on the recent developments, but the union says the reinstatements are a result of its efforts to negotiate better working conditions for federal employees. The moves come as President Biden seeks to restore morale among federal workers who were disproportionately affected by Trump-era policies.
