Yesterday, the @UnionVeterans delegation hit Capitol Hill! 🇺🇸 We visited congressional offices across the Cannon, Longworth, and Rayburn buildings to advocate for working veterans, and organized labors opposition to the #TCAVA @AFLCIO @IAM_Union

Political spin says #TCAVA doesn't cut benefits. The reality? Section 108 raids $57B from future disabled vets by gutting tinnitus & sleep apnea ratings. A future cut is still a cut. Tomorrow, UVC and @AFLCIO hit the Hill to demand a CLEAN Star Act. No poison pills. #StopTCAVA

Boots on the ground tomorrow. 🥾 Our delegation of union veterans and @AFLCIO advocacy leaders are arriving on the Hill to tell lawmakers face-to-face: Drop the offsets, protect the VA workforce, and reject #TCAVA's poison pills. Stay tuned for live updates. #UnionVets #StopTCAVA

The "Take Care of America’s Veterans Act" sounds good on paper, but it hides a massive $57B cut to future disabled vets and strips collective bargaining from VA clinical staff. #UnionVets aren't buying the corporate spin. We are heading to DC. #StopTCAVA #signthepetition

Veterans earned their health care benefits through their service to our country. Congress should reject the omnibus VA bill moving on Capitol Hill, which would accelerate the privatizing of VA care, cut veterans' benefits, and restrict workers’ collective bargaining rights.

The House is voting this week on #HR6047. We support the $10K raise for injured vets Congress shouldn't fund it by nearly TRIPLING VA refinance fees on veteran homeowners from 0.5% to 1.42%. Stop this hidden tax on vet home equity. @AFLCIO #stoptheveterantax

When we fight, we win! ⚖️ ​The federal appeals court just delivered a major blow to the VA's illegal union-busting, upholding the contract for over 320,000 public servants who care for our heroes. ​Proud to stand in solidarity with @AFGENational @afgenvac. ✊🇺🇸
AFGE National VA Council@afgenvacMay 18
The First Circuit has denied the VA's plea for an emergency stay; as a result, the preliminary injunction granted to the NVAC by Judge DuBose on March 13th, 2026, stays in place. When we stand together, we can make a difference for VA employees and U.S. veterans everywhere. ⁠

VICTORY! The VA has officially RESCINDED the medication rule (RIN 2900-AS49). No more "pauses"—the rule is being wiped from the books. This is what the power of solidarity looks like. We fought, we stood together, and we won. #Veterans #protecttheva #Rescinded @AFLCIO

Demand that Sec. Collins fully remove the medication rule and not just pause! Protect your rating, protect the VA. #Veterans #Veteransrights @AFLCIO @DeptVetAffairs

Tweet 1 VETERAN ALERT: H.R. 6047 just cleared committee, but there’s a catch. We support the wins for survivors, but we REFUSE to fund them by hiking home loan fees on disabled vets (70% & below). No more paying for benefits on the backs of our brothers and sisters. 🧵 (1/2)

Tweet 2 Also: The VA’s new "Medication Rule" is a threat to your rating. If your meds "work," they want to claim you’re less disabled. 💊 Demand a CLEAN H.R. 6047 and protect our earned ratings! Find your Rep here: house.gov/representatives/fi… (2/2) #veterans @AFLCIO
