CDC Workers Caught in the Shutdown Crossfire
Hosts Greg Bluestein and Tia Mitchell examine the growing toll of the federal government shutdown on Georgia’s CDC workforce. Producer Natalie Mendenhall brings powerful voices from inside the agency, where hundreds of scientists have faced firings, reversals, and weeks without pay. Then Greg and Tia talk with Yolanda Jacobs, a union leader representing CDC employees, about what she calls a “figurative beheading” of the agency and how politics in Washington are threatening public health and morale in Atlanta.
