Rep. Kathy Castor criticizes VA Secretary Collins for cutting worker protections, impacting veterans' care in Tampa Bay.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Representative Kathy Castor criticized Department of Veteran Affairs Secretary Collins for terminating collective bargaining agreements for many VA employees, which she claims will negatively impact the workforce. She highlighted that Florida has the second-largest veteran population in the U.S. and emphasized the potential disruption to veterans' access to care.
In a letter to Collins, Castor pointed out significant workforce losses, noting that over 8,700 veteran-facing employees have departed this fiscal year. She expressed concern that these actions undermine the VA's mission and requested detailed information on the workforce situation within the Tampa Bay area.
Castor stated, "We owe a debt to America’s veterans," and characterized the cuts as detrimental to veterans’ services, urging the Secretary to prioritize funding and workforce stability at the VA. She awaits a response detailing employee departures and appointment cancellations by mid-August.
