Background Info
Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) employees endure deteriorating working conditions, worsening pay, and political activists attempting to privatize VA care through lies and retaliation. NFFE is advocating on Capitol Hill to ensure VA employees receive fair pay and a safe workplace so that they can carry out the mission of caring for our Veterans as best as possible.
NFFE Opposes the Restore VA Accountability Act, the VA CAREERS Act, the Veterans HEALTH Act, and the Veterans Community Care Act, which encourage the outsourcing and privatization of VA care. Use our action alert (also at bottom of this page) to tell your representatives in Congress to oppose this legislation that is harmful to VA healthcare workers and the patients they care for.
