The EPA has initiated a workforce reduction, terminating around 280 employees involved in environmental justice and diversity initiatives, while reassessing 175 others for new positions. This comes after the agency’s announcement of rolling back critical environmental regulations and halting remote work for most staff. Administrator Lee Zeldin’s remarks reflect a broader mandate to reshape the agency and fulfill political objectives. The reduction is set to take effect on July 31, as communicated in an internal memorandum emphasizing the need for transformation in federal bureaucracy to better serve American interests.
Today, EPA notified diversity, equity, and inclusion and environmental justice employees that EPA will be conducting a Reduction in Force in accordance with the Office of Personnel Management Workforce Reshaping Handbook and federal regulations governing RIF procedures.
President Trump was elected with a mandate from the American people. Part of this mandate includes the issuance of an Executive Order that directs the critical transformation of the Federal bureaucracy to empower American families, workers, taxpayers and our system of government itself.
