BOSTON (WBZ NewsRadio) — Five employees who were fired from the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum last week have been reinstated, the JFK Library Foundation announced Wednesday.

The library abruptly closed last Tuesday, Feb. 18, because of the “sudden dismissal of federal employees,” the foundation told WBZ NewsRadio.

The employees were fired as part of the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to downsize the federal government, which has led to thousands of probationary workers losing their jobs. The library reopened the next day.

Gov. Maura Healey, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Sen. Ed Markey, and JFK’s grandson Jake Schlossberg were among those who publicly criticized the firings and the closure.

On Wednesday, the JFK Library Foundation said in a statement, “As the Foundation that supports the JFK Library, we are relieved that all five of the JFK Library staff members who were let go last week have been reinstated. They are all critical to Library revenue generating operations, which can now resume as normal, and it is wonderful to have our valued colleagues back.”
