US EditionHHS revokes some layoff notices, including to 9/11 program
- On Tuesday, officials from the health agency reversed several layoff notifications, reinstating some employees at the CDC, FDA, and the World Trade Center Health Program.
- The revocations came after recent reductions, including a significant round of cuts at NIH and layoffs that drew strong criticism from New York legislators concerned about the 9/11 program.
- Layoff reversals were issued for scientists working in the FDA’s food safety laboratories located in Chicago and San Francisco, while some employees at other FDA labs and at NIOSH remain laid off.
- Letters told workers their notices were "officially RESCINDED," and at least a dozen World Trade Center Health Program employees had layoffs revoked.
- The reversals suggest partial restoration amid ongoing consolidation plans by HHS secretary Kennedy, who called some layoffs possible mistakes and vowed to restore experts.
