Good evening everyone,
Earlier this evening, around 6:30 PM, VA Central Office Labor Management Relations (LMR) issued new guidance to the National VA Council regarding implementation of the court’s preliminary injunction restoring our Master Agreement.

This is a significant development.
VA Central Office is now directing facilities—including here at GLA—to immediately return to pre-August 6, 2025 conditions for all AFGE-represented employees. In plain terms, management has been instructed to restore the full status quo under the Master Collective Bargaining Agreement.
What this means for GLA:
- The Master Agreement is back in effect
- All bargaining unit employees previously covered must be treated as covered again
- Contract rights, protections, and processes should be actively reinstated now
- This applies broadly—not selectively
However, we want to be clear:
While this guidance is a step in the right direction, compliance on the ground may lag or be inconsistent. We have already seen resistance and delays across the system, and we expect continued pushback.
What you should do:
- If you are being denied your contractual rights, document everything
- Notify your union immediately so we can act
- Continue to assert your rights under the restored agreement
We will be closely monitoring how GLA leadership implements this directive. If the agency fails to comply fully, it may raise serious concerns about continued noncompliance with the court’s order.
We will keep you updated as this develops.
In solidarity.
