CDC Terminates 600+ Employees Following Court Decision

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is issuing permanent termination notices to at least 600 employees following a recent court ruling that protected some CDC staff from layoffs while leaving others vulnerable. According to the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE), which represents over 2,000 CDC employees, the notices began distribution this week, with many staff yet to receive them. The terminations come as part of a broader restructuring initiative by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
