Secretary Collins’ decision to rip up the negotiated union contract for majority of its workforce, 1/3 of whom are vets, is another clear example of retaliation against AFGE members for speaking out against the illegal, anti-worker, & anti-veteran policies of this administration.
VA terminates union contracts for most bargaining-unit employees .

AFGE is preparing an immediate response and will continue to fight relentlessly to protect the rights of our members, federal employees and their union.
President Donald Trump nullified more government unions Thursday, expanding a March order that has sharply limited federal-sector collective bargaining.

This latest executive order is another clear example of retaliation against federal employee union members who have bravely stood up against his anti-worker, anti-American plan to dismantle the federal government.

President Trump’s decision to issue a Labor Day proclamation shortly after stripping union rights from thousands of civil servants, a third of whom are veterans, should show American workers what he really thinks about them.
A new edict published alongside President Trump’s proclamation celebrating Labor Day seeks to outlaw collective bargaining at more than half a dozen additional agencies under the auspices of “national security.”

For too long, the swamp controlled America’s future. That's finally changing, but they're fighting back. Be part of the team taking on the corrupt deep state.

A new proposal from @CMSgov under @DrOz wants to add catheters, ostomy & trach supplies to Medicare’s competitive bidding program. This is a bad idea and will worsen outcomes for seniors & Medicare recipients. My latest in @MedPageToday explains why ⬇️

Limiting urological, tracheostomy, and ostomy supply options will do more harm than good
