The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has announced that it has moved nearly 430 medical professionals from taxpayer-funded union work back to health care jobs serving veterans. The move looks to improve VA's ability to deliver health care to veteran patients, and took effect Nov. 15 when VA repudiated certain provisions of master collective bargaining agreements with the following unions: American Federation of Government Employees, National Federation of Federal Employees, National Association of Government Employees and National Nurses United. The repudiation will apply to all of VA's nearly 104,000 title 38 employees.
