VA Ends AFGE Contract Again, Court Warns of Contempt Risk

The Department of Veterans Affairs re-terminated its master collective bargaining agreement with AFGE/NVAC covering more than 300,000 employees despite a federal judge’s injunction to restore it, invoking national-security exemptions tied to recent executive orders; the judge condemned the action as a disrespect of the court’s order and gave the VA until the close of business to explain why it shouldn’t be held in contempt, while AFGE seeks to enforce the injunction and the DOJ has appealed, signaling an ongoing legal battle over federal labor contracts amid broader national-security considerations.

Many employees are relying on emergency funds as back pay remains uncertain and the prospect of another shutdown looms.

HHS Reverses All NIOSH Layoffs, Reinstating Every Affected Worker

The Department of Health and Human Services has revoked all layoff notices at the CDC’s National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, reinstating every employee who received a reduction-in-force notice. This completes a reversal that began with a partial reinstatement last year (about 328 of 1,000) after union and bipartisan pressure, and comes amid staffing concerns, ongoing lawsuits, and calls from lawmakers for broader restoration of NIOSH programs.
