UAW Statement on Job Cuts at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health
The UAW adamantly opposes the Trump administration’s recent decision to terminate nearly 900 workers at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
For decades, NIOSH has conducted vital research and offered important recommendations to help prevent work-related injury and illness. The agency provides workers with guidance and support on numerous important issues, including chemical hazards, workplace violence, first responder and firefighter safety protocols, preventable workplace fatalities, and many more.
The NIOSH’s work is absolutely critical in advancing rules that protect workers on the job so that they can return home safely every day. The nearly 900 workers the Trump administration is attempting to terminate play an invaluable role in making that possible.
This attack on NIOSH workers will have far-reaching negative consequences for workers in this country and beyond, and we demand they be reinstated.
