An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Save NIOSH - reverse layoffs now

486 so far! Help us get to 500 signers!

I am writing to request your help reversing the layoffs that decimated the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health on April 1, 2025. On that day over 90% of NIOSH employees were notified they are being laid off by June. This includes over 400 employees based in Cincinnati. The work at NIOSH translates into enhanced productivity while reducing healthcare costs associated with occupational hazards. NIOSH is NOT partisan or political. NIOSH conducts research to prevent worker injuries, diseases, and deaths. Please advocate for reversing these reckless layoffs and providing sustained funding and resources for NIOSH. An attack on NIOSH is an attack on all workers. Save NIOSH today. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter and continued ongoing support for wo rker health and safety.
