35-second read · 4 questions answered below
This bill removes restrictions that currently limit what VHA employees can negotiate through their unions. It would give VHA workers bargaining rights more like those of federal employees in other agencies. The bill also keeps the VA Secretary's existing authority over special pay and hiring processes for certain VHA positions.
The workers affected are doctors, nurses, and other health care staff employed by the VHA across the country.
Removing these restrictions would expand the range of workplace issues VHA employees can negotiate through collective bargaining. VHA workers would have broader bargaining rights than they currently hold under existing law.
