Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit AFGE Action Center.The short explanation of this alert was: IMPORTANT: This information should not be downloaded using government equipment, read during duty time or sent to others using government equipment, because it suggests action to be taken in support or against legislation. Do not list your government email or government address in filling out this message. Our veterans, our nation's heroes, who work for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), serving other veterans, deserve job protection. Some lawmakers want to convert VA Nursing Assistants to Hybrid Title 38 employees. If these workers are converted, they will be denied the protections provided under the Veterans Employment Opportunities Act, and therefore have no right to appeal alleged violations of their veterans' preference rights. As lawmakers deliberate this issue, we need you to contact them and ask them to oppose provisions in S. 252 and HR 919 that would automatically convert all VA nursing assistants to the Hybrid Title 38 personnel system which would deprive them of the veterans' preference rights held by of all other veterans who work for the federal government.
