This bill protects collective bargaining agreements between the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and its labor unions by affirming that any such agreements in effect as of March 26, 2025, remain legally binding through their stated expiration dates. The legislation specifically nullifies two executive orders (14251 and 14343) that aimed to limit federal employees' collective bargaining rights, preventing the government from using any federal funds to implement these orders at the VA. The bill directly affects VA employees represented by labor organizations and their ability to negotiate workplace terms and conditions. There is no specific funding amount or implementation timeline specified beyond the March 26, 2025, reference date for existing agreements. The measure was introduced by a bipartisan group of House members and referred to the Veterans' Affairs and Oversight and Government Reform committees.
