A union arbiter has ruled that three D.C. social workers who were fired after the discovery of the deaths of Banita Jacks' children should be reinstated.
D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty fired the workers and three non-union supervisors after the discovery of the girls' bodies in their Southeast rowhouse in January.
Fenty blamed the workers for failing to follow up on reports of neglect at the home.
The arbiter ruled the union workers be reinstated with back pay.
