More than 460 laid-off employees at the nation’s top public health agency received notices on Wednesday that they are being reinstated, according to a union representing the workers.
The US Department of Health and Human Services confirmed reinstatement notices went out to the former Centres for Disease Control and Prevention employees, but provided few details.
About 2,400 CDC employees lost their jobs in a wave of cuts across federal health agencies in early April, according to a tally at the time.
