The House of Representatives was expected to debate a bill this week that would undermine worker rights at the Department of Veterans Affairs. However, it appears that the bill has been pulled from floor consideration because Republican leaders lack the votes needed for approval. “This legislation unfairly targets federal employees in the Department of Veterans Affairs by significantly limiting their ability to be adequately represented by their unions, interfering with union leadership elections, and severely limiting the ability of union representatives to communicate with Members of Congress," said House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (D-MD).
