CDC employees with medical conditions challenge in-office work mandate

CDC employees with serious medical conditions are challenging the agency's strict in-office work requirement, which has revoked previously granted remote work accommodations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has mandated a return to the office for all employees, overriding accommodations for individuals with conditions like cancer and mobility issues. This policy change follows a January 2025 executive order, with hundreds of employees filing complaints and an estimated $200 million cost to the agency.
