Last spring, the Trump administration’s unaccountable DOGE cut more than a thousand jobs at the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the federal job safety research agency.

Every single NIOSH (pronounced nigh-osh) research center was facing closure, so unions mobilized, and our public pressure helped push Congress to restore some NIOSH centers and scientist jobs. However, the few staff still remaining no longer have the resources to do their jobs, and Congress may make things even worse.

Now, all NIOSH research centers are at risk of being closed again. America’s workers will lose critical safety protections—and more workers are going to get hurt. By gutting this key federal agency, America’s workers will lose critical health and safety research. Fewer employers will adopt lifesaving technologies and practices. And more workers will be hurt and killed on the job.
