Right to Representation for Department of Veterans Affairs Workers Act of 2025

HR 6014, the Right to Representation for Department of Veterans Affairs Workers Act of 2025, gives most VA employees the right to have a chosen representative present during examinations that could lead to disciplinary action. This applies to non-exempt VA workers (excluding senior executives, certain appointed staff, and political appointees) and requires the VA to allow representation during work hours if requested. The bill inserts a new section into VA employment law, mandating that employees be informed of this right and permitting representation at any examination where disciplinary action might result. It directly affects VA employees facing potential disciplinary proceedings, ensuring they can have support during these reviews.
