The permanent cuts include about 100 people who worked in violence prevention.
At least 600 employees of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are receiving permanent termination notices in the wake of a recent court decision that protected some CDC employees from layoffs but not others.
The notices went out this week and many people have not yet received them, according to the American Federation of Government Employees, which represents more than 2,000 dues-paying members at CDC.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Wednesday did not offer details on the layoffs and referred an AP reporter to a March statement that said restructuring and downsizing were intended to make health agencies more responsive and efficient.
AFGE officials said they are aware of at least 600 CDC employees being cut.
But “due to a staggering lack of transparency from HHS," the union hasn't received formal notices of who is being laid off,” the federation said in a statement on Wednesday.
The permanent cuts include about 100 people who worked in violence prevention. Some employees noted those cuts come less than two weeks after a man fired at least 180 bullets into the CDC's campus and killed a police officer.
“The irony is devastating: The very experts trained to understand, interrupt and prevent this kind of violence were among those whose jobs were eliminated,” some of the affected employees wrote in a blog post last week.
On April 1, the HHS officials sent layoff notices to thousands of employees at the CDC and other federal health agencies, part of a sweeping overhaul designed to vastly shrink the agencies responsible for protecting and promoting Americans’ health.
Many have been on administrative leave since then — paid but not allowed to work — as lawsuits played out.

"Violence prevention" is code for abolishing (legal) private firearms ownership.
Winning!

The CDC is a law enforcement agency now?????????
WTF are unions doing in the fed gov?-)
Good.
These people are anti-gun trying to say guns are a health threat. They need to be gone.
Rut Ro! Time to find a real job.
That seems harsh. Couldn't they just fire them?
The Japanese just released a study with millions of people that showed people who got the mrna vaccine were as much as 4 times more likely to die within 5 months of getting the shot. The more often you got the shot, the more likely you were to die. And the most people who died did so 3 months after the shot. These people in the CDC should be hung like those doctors at the Nuremberg trials. Just getting fired is far too good for them. They are Hitler/Stalin evil.
Putting up a sign that says “Please don’t shoot us” is probably just as effective as the 100 employees.
Good
Worthless gub mint bottom feeder s
Some good news. Impossible to replace. ;-)
“Permanent Termination Notices”???
Does this mean they have already received planned, possible, preliminary, and semi-permanent notices of termination?
That would mean that their intelligence level is quite low, not figuring out that it would be best to start working on a new resume...
