Section 7422 of Title 38 of the U.S. Code limits the collective-bargaining rights of certain Veterans Affairs (VA) clinical professionals, including registered nurses. This section restricts the ability of registered nurses to speak out about poor working conditions and to resolve disputes with management. As a result, the quality of patient care can deteriorate and problems in VA facilities can go unaddressed.

National Nurses United (NNU) is the largest labor union and professional association for registered nurses (RNs) in the United States. NNU supports its members — who work as bedside nurses in every state across the country — to extend their patient advocacy beyond the bedside to improve public health.
