Tom Temin: Okay, and before I get into some of those details, I mentioned about a quarter of a million, I think there are 270,000 employees at AFGE`s National VA Council.

In addition, failure to cover issues in the agreement requires each body to adopt its own guidelines, which will lead to inconsistencies. „In articles that have not been completely removed [from the treaties], the division makes proposals that subordinate the [framework collective agreement] to agency policy and future government rules and regulations,“ AFGE wrote. [Here], the ministry`s repeated and insistent proposals require the union to give up its right to negotiate terms and conditions of employment of the utmost importance to ministry policy, and then adopt government-wide rules and regulations. . .
