This is a huge win for working people. When the Trump admin laid off hundreds, workers spoke up, communities fought back, and we stood with them to demand better.
Now those workers can finally return to the jobs they were hired to do and keep the American people safe.

I was a part of the April 1 RIF at NIOSH. It’s unclear how many people remain tonight’s RIF. I do know that my colleagues have done tremendous work for US workers I also know that I loved my job and I miss being able to do it. #saveniosh

AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler condemns Trump's gutting of #NIOSH as "a gift to corporations that want to slash worker protections to create more profits. It’s an insult to the workers who put their lives on the line at work every day and their families who wait for them to come home."
Every worker should be able to go home safe and healthy at the end of their shift.
