CDC rehires 450 employees cut in HHS restructuring, internal documents show

Source: ABC News

The government on Wednesday hired back more than 450 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention employees that were fired as part of the widespread restructuring that took place in April at the Department of Health and Human Services, internal documents shared with ABC News show.

Among the branches that were reinstated was the National Center for Environmental Health, which oversees a lead prevention program for children across the country that ABC News has reported on extensively and asked HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr about directly.

The cuts to the branch had left more than a half dozen schools in Milwaukee without federal assistance as they dealt with hazardous levels of lead in their building.

More than 120 people were rehired to the CDC division, which also monitors other environmental toxins, including wildfire smoke and radiation exposure.

I would be really surprised if they are hired back at their previous salary.
