More US shutdown staffing cuts to come, says Vance, as CDC workers reinstated
There are more staffing cuts ahead if the US government shutdown drags on, Vice-President JD Vance has said, even as some workers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have already gotten their jobs back after receiving layoff notifications two days ago.
The Trump administration announced on Friday that seven agencies, including the CDC, had started firing over 4,000 staff.
But some of those CDC layoff notices were sent in error, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) told the BBC's US news partner CBS News.
Out of about 1,300 CDC workers who were fired on Friday, around 700 were reinstated on Saturday, the employees' union told CNN.
