– A pair of bills in Congress are seeking to undermine the rights of rank and file workers at the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. These two radical bills, HR 1994 – introduced by Rep. Jeff Miller (FL), and S 1082 – introduced by Sen. Marco Rubio (FL), represent a knee-jerk reaction to calls for accountability at the VA. Instead of taking concrete steps to improve services at the VA, these bills seek to scapegoat front line employees while giving a free pass to managers who engage in misconduct.

If this legislation passes, every VA worker will be an at-will employee, with no meaningful recourse – even if their termination was a result of whistle blower retaliation or discrimination.

Stand with our brothers and sisters in AFGE now! E-mail or call your members of Congress, and tell them to OPPOSE HB 1994 and S 1082.
