B-Man Posted August 24 Posted August 24 Why didn't loser Homegrown or sucker Tibs post this ? They were wrong (AGAIN) This is what you can do when you free up government money After cutting union contracts, VA redirects $45M to veterans by Brett Rowland U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs officials announced Friday that the agency is redirecting nearly $45 million from public union costs to care for veterans. "VA staff will now get to spend more time with Veterans, VA facilities can focus on treating Veterans, and VA can manage its staff according to Veterans' needs and national security requirements, not union demands," VA Secretary Doug Collins said. Earlier this month, Veterans Affairs canceled its contracts with most unions on Wednesday, saying the unions fight against the best interests of veterans. When VA canceled those contacts, it cut the number of VA bargaining unit employees from about 375,000 to about 7,000. https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_53beea8a-d453-41b0-8e4d-5746a68f93e9.html https://www.thecentersquare.com/national/article_3f5e544d-8193-468f-9657-aa8e27475c1c.html 1

One Mar-a-Lago weekend costs taxpayers almost 10% of that. Cutting union contracts doesn’t free up money for vets it silences the very staff who care for them, leading to burnout and worse outcomes. This is about union-busting, not veterans’ health.
