VA Employee Fairness Act of 2025

S 1650, the VA Employee Fairness Act of 2025, modifies collective bargaining rules for Veterans Health Administration (VHA) employees. It removes existing subsections (b), (c), and (d) from Section 7422 of Title 38 and redesignates the current subsection (e) as (b). This change directly affects VHA health care workers who negotiate with management over wages, hours, and working conditions. The bill clarifies that these modifications do not impact the Secretary's existing authority over incentive pay and expedited hiring under Section 706 of Title 38.
