VA Hurting Veterans

The VA is going to lay off a vast amount of workers even though they are under staffed. Right now many workers in the VA are having to work mandatory overtime because they do not have enough staff. Veterans are being hurt because there is not enough staff as is to serve them. They have to wait months to years for services and this is impacting their health. Help protect veterans by reaching out to your government representatives and tell them to stop the VA reductions.

VA plans to lay off as many as 83,000 employees this year.

A leaked memo released Tuesday called for VA to slash its workforce to 2019 levels that were in place before millions of veterans became newly eligible for care.
