The House is voting this week on #HR6047. We support the $10K raise for injured vets Congress shouldn't fund it by nearly TRIPLING VA refinance fees on veteran homeowners from 0.5% to 1.42%.
Stop this hidden tax on vet home equity.

When we fight, we win! ⚖️

​The federal appeals court just delivered a major blow to the VA's illegal union-busting, upholding the contract for over 320,000 public servants who care for our heroes.

​Proud to stand in solidarity with @AFGENational @afgenvac. ✊🇺🇸

[AFGE National VA Council @afgenvac]

The First Circuit has denied the VA's plea for an emergency stay; as a result, the preliminary injunction granted to the NVAC by Judge DuBose on March 13th, 2026, stays in place. When we stand together, we can make a difference for VA employees and U.S. veterans everywhere. ⁠

"You can't support the veteran while undermining the worker that helps them. Their dignity is inseparable."
- Craig Romanovich @AFLCIO
House Democrats will always stand with VA employees.

On National Vietnam War Veterans Day, the @unionveterans Council honors the 9 million Americans who served. To our union brothers & sisters who served during the Vietnam era: We thank you for your sacrifice and your strength. Welcome home. 🇺🇸✊ #VietnamWarVeteransDay

[Union Veterans Council🪖✊ @unionveterans]

VICTORY! The VA has officially RESCINDED the medication rule (RIN 2900-AS49).

No more "pauses"—the rule is being wiped from the books. This is what the power of solidarity looks like.

We fought, we stood together, and we won. #Veterans #protecttheva #Rescinded @AFLCIO

[Union Veterans Council🪖✊ @unionveterans]

Demand that Sec. Collins fully remove the medication rule and not just pause! Protect your rating, protect the VA. #Veterans #Veteransrights @AFLCIO @DeptVetAffairs

Also: The VA’s new "Medication Rule" is a threat to your rating. If your meds "work," they want to claim you’re less disabled. 💊

Demand a CLEAN H.R. 6047 and protect our earned ratings!

VETERAN ALERT: H.R. 6047 just cleared committee, but there’s a catch.

We support the wins for survivors, but we REFUSE to fund them by hiking home loan fees on disabled vets (70% & below). No more paying for benefits on the backs of our brothers and sisters. 🧵 (1/2)

Let's see what @DeptVetAffairs #Collibs has to say about OUR VA. #vanotforsale

[Union Veterans Council🪖✊ @unionveterans]

The Iowa UVC, led by Army Vet Joe Statler, stood in solidarity with organizers @AFGE Local 2547 and @NationalNurses to honor a fellow union brother & VA nurse. @AFLCIO

Veterans and nurses: United in service, united in grief.

Huge win for #SD Congrats to @TaylorRehmetTX on his election to the Texas State Senate.

Taylor brings the discipline of a veteran and the grit of an @IAM__Union leader to Austin. From the military to the labor movement, he’s always put service first.

A union contract isn’t a threat; it’s a guarantee of dignity."

At the Capitol, we called on the Senate to pass the Protect America’s Workforce Act. 1 in 3 federal workers is a veteran—they earned their rights in uniform, and they shouldn't lose them at the VA or DoD. @AFLCIO

[Union Veterans Council🪖✊ @unionveterans]

Union veterans are leading the way! 🇺🇸 Great discussion today with @TaylorRehmetTX about the issues that matter to Texas veterans. We’re standing together for better benefits, fair wages, and a seat at the table. 👊 @TexasAFLCIO #UnionVeterans #TXLeg #Solidarity

[Union Veterans Council🪖✊ @unionveterans]

Fort Worth: Let’s talk about the future of veterans and labor in Texas. 🛠️🇺🇸

A military pension is a contract, not a political tool. 🇺🇸

They keep asking “what if?”
What if the cuts go through?
What if they gut the VA?
What if they slash the jobs that keep veterans serving their country in the federal workforce

But we’re not waiting on a what-if
They’ve already started breaking promises
