Terminated Bonneville Power employees re-hired

Fox 12 Oregon · last updated

PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) — All of the workers who were terminated from the Bonneville Power Administration as part of federal job cuts will be re-hired.

We spoke to one worker who wants to remain anonymous. They tell us probationary employees were let go last month, but that decision is now being reversed.

We’re told some workers will return as early as Friday.

According to our source, re-hired employees will also be getting back pay and the BPA is now exempt from any future reductions in force.

We reached out to BPA for comment and a spokesperson confirmed the process to re-hire all terminated workers has begun, but they were not able to provide any other details.
