Bill overview
This bill, the Department of Veterans Affairs Employee Fairness Act of 2021, aims to strengthen the collective bargaining rights of employees within the Veterans Health Administration. Specifically, it removes restrictions that previously limited the scope of bargaining to issues like professional conduct, peer review, and compensation adjustments. By removing these limitations, the bill seeks to provide VA employees with greater ability to negotiate terms and conditions of their employment. This change is intended to improve fairness and employee representation within the VA system.
