The VA Employee Fairness Act of 2025 aims to significantly expand the collective bargaining rights for employees within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) by amending section 7422 of title 38, United States Code. This legislation specifically strikes subsections (b), (c), and (d) of that section, which currently exclude various critical matters from the scope of collective bargaining, such as professional conduct, compensation, appointment, and promotion. By removing these exclusions, the bill would allow VHA employees to negotiate on a much broader range of topics with management, thereby enhancing their union representation and influence over workplace conditions. Crucially, the bill clarifies that these amendments will not affect the Secretary of Veterans Affairs' existing authorities concerning incentive pay and expedited hiring under section 706 of title 38, or other similar legal provisions. This ensures that certain management tools for recruitment and retention remain intact while simultaneously broadening the scope of employee negotiation rights within the VHA.
