Acadia National Park is reinstating the eight probationary employees terminated in February. “In compliance with court orders, the Department of the Interior is reinstating these employees. All impacted employees will receive back pay, and the department will ensure continued compensation as the White House pursues its appeals process,” the National Park Service said Wednesday. Last Thursday, U.S. District Judge William Alsup declared that the termination of probationary park employees throughout the country was illegal.
