## ‘Read this e-mail immediately': CDC tells about 180 fired employees to come back to work

Authored by apnews.com

NEW YORK (AP) — The nation’s top public health agency says about 180 employees who were laid off two weeks ago can come back to work.

Emails went out Tuesday to some Centers for Disease Control and Prevention probationary employees who got termination notices last month, according to current and former CDC employees.

It’s not clear how many of the reinstated employees returned to work Wednesday.

And it’s also unclear whether the employees would be spared from widespread job cuts that are expected soon across government agencies.

A sign marks the entrance to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, on Oct. 8, 2013.

Last month, Trump administration officials told the CDC that nearly 1,300 of the agency’s probationary employees would be let go.

With 180 more people now being told they can return, the actual number of CDC employees terminated so far would seem to stand somewhere around 550. »
