Today, the federal court issued a strong ruling reinforcing that the VA must honor and fully implement the Master Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). The judge made it clear that simply claiming compliance is not enough—the VA is expected to follow the agreement in practice, not just in name.
Importantly, the court signaled growing frustration with the agency’s failure to clearly comply, and further enforcement actions may be coming if this continues. This is a significant development that strengthens our position as employees and as a union.
What this means for you:
- Your union rights under the Master Agreement remain in effect
- You can request union representation in meetings
- Contract provisions—including official time and workplace protections—should be honored
This is a critical moment. Enforcement depends on all of us speaking up, documenting issues, and standing together.
👉 Now is the time to get involved.
Together, we ensure accountability.
