Right to a representative for VA workers
This bill would let most VA employees have a representative at a work exam they think could lead to discipline, if they ask. The VA would have to allow a representative of the employee’s choosing. The representative could attend on duty time when allowed. This would not cover senior executives, political appointees, or certain VA medical or temporary appointees.
