"The staffing reversal comes one month after the agency dismissed employees of the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights."
"Less than a month after placing the entire staff of the Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights on administrative leave, the Environmental Protection Agency has reinstated dozens of employees in offices across the country.
Some employees at regional EPA offices received an email Monday asking them to return to work, according to four employees who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak with the media, and they returned to work on Wednesday.
EPA spokeswoman Molly Vaseliou confirmed the agency is reassessing its staffing plans in light of recent guidance from the White House but did not provide any specifics on whether the agency has brought back any of the office’s employees."
