Employees at the Department of Labor that were terminated as part of the Trump administration’s widespread layoffs of probationary workers were reinstated on Friday, according to a union email obtained by Bloomberg Law.

Employees fired last month are expected to report back to work on Monday, according to the email.

DOL had laid off employees across at least six departments, according to Labor Department employees who had communicated with their fired colleagues.

Bloomberg Law previously reported that probationary firings affected the department’s Women’s Bureau, Employment and Training Administration, Office of Disability Employment Policy, Mine Safety and Health Administration, Employee Benefits Security Administration, and the Bureau of International Labor Affairs.

A separate Feb. 25 memo reviewed by Bloomberg Law outlined plans to cut 90 percent of the DOL’s Office of Contract Compliance Programs.
