We Fought. We Filed. We Won!!!

WE FOUGHT. WE FILED. WE WON!

AFGE/NVAC proudly celebrates Judge DuBose’s decision today, granting our motion to enforce her March 13 preliminary injunction. Today’s decision ensures that the protections and benefits negotiated for VA employees covered under the MCBA remain in place throughout contract negotiations between AFGE/NVAC and the Department of Veterans Affairs. 

This court victory comes after the VA issued AFGE/NVAC written notice on July 24 of its latest plan to “re-terminate” the union’s contract.

President Burke said it best: “Unions that represent federal employees have long been under attack. Why? Because we are the roadblock preventing the privatization of the agencies we swore to protect. No matter how many times we are kicked while we are down, we get back up, brush off the dirt, and get right back in the fight because we believe in the VA’s mission to serve our nation’s veterans. Today’s victory is proof that the law sides with AFGE/NVAC because we fight for what is right.”

We will stand beside you every step of the way and fight for dignity, fairness, and respect in the workplace. Will you stand with us? We have won these battles against the VA consecutively, but the real work is only just beginning. We need every member to convert to AFGE E-dues today because we cannot do this without you.
