2. No, that wasn't my question. LOL At least I don't think it was.

:P Do people who work for the Veteran's Administration have a union, like the American Federation of Government Employees?

8. Not usually. The government workers don't need a union. afaik, but

I worked for the gov't years ago. LOTS of people work for the VA. I bet some work for a union. The gov't has contracted out for years.

9. What do you mean government workers don't need a union? Are you nuts tonight too?

:P

[babylonsister]

10. No. I worked for the gov't for 11 years and wasn't in a union.

Unions are necessarily necessary. :evilgrin:

11. Your branch did not have a union or you chose not to join?

[babylonsister]

12. Not necessary for me, but there were lots of people in the dept.

who were happy. Ancient history, who cares? :fistbump:

5. My Dad's retired from the VA and he just said AFGE

On edit: There's another one for Treasury employees too. It depends on which branch of government you're in. But VA is definitely AFGE.
