Nurses are deeply encouraged that 231 congressional members voted to restore collective bargaining rights for VA nurses and other federal workers. This vote is an immensely important step in protecting the rights of federal workers who provide vital services to our communities and care for our nation’s veterans at Veterans Health Administration facilities across the country.
National Nurses United is outraged that the VA is working to implement this administration’s cruel xenophobic anti-immigrant agenda that will lead to the persecution, intimidation, and discrimination of employees, volunteers, and trainees whose work is critical to the care and treatment of veterans.
On Friday, Sept. 12, nurses across the country will rally at congressional district offices of U.S. senators and representatives to demand these members of Congress sign a pledge to support a fully staffed Veterans Health Administration (VA) and restore collective bargaining rights to VA nurses and other workers.
