Two labor groups are getting together tonight in Iowa City to protest what they allege is the Trump Administration’s union-busting policies.
Members of the American Federation of Government Employees Local 2547 and the Iowa City Federation of Labor plan to meet at the Iowa City Federal Building on South Clinton Street at 5pm.
The groups say the policies endanger the Department of Veterans Affairs employees and the veterans they serve. In a media advisory, the AFGE says, “The attack on VA workers’ rights is part of a larger effort by this administration to undermine federal employee unions and prevent workers from blowing the whistle on mismanagement and other workplace abuses.”
There are over 1600 VA employees in the Iowa City VA Health Care System.
