Federal workers are protesting nationwide against the VA’s decision to lay off over 1,000 employees, including a major demonstration outside the North Las Vegas VA Medical Center.
Union leaders argue the cuts will worsen staffing shortages and harm veteran care. Veterans have also voiced concerns about longer wait times. Meanwhile, VA Secretary Doug Collins claims the layoffs will save $98 million annually without affecting services.
Some workers were reportedly given just 30 minutes to vacate their offices, fueling outrage. As protests continue, workers demand a reversal of the decision to protect essential services for veterans.
