Many VA employees are veterans themselves. Canceling their union contracts is not only insulting to their service, but it’s going to make the quality of care for our veterans worse.
These men and women made incredible sacrifices for our country. This is not how we repay them.

The VA terminating the union contracts of their workers is an ambush on the people who care for our veterans. The Trump admin may think they can silence anyone who pushes back against their unlawful and anti-worker actions, but we aren’t going anywhere. aflcio.org/press/releas...

The IRS's free tax filing tool is now reportedly "gone," according to Trump's IRS chief.
This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file.
Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration.
