The US Department of Veterans Affairs awaits extensive reorganization, in which 80,000 jobs will expire. TASR informs about this on the basis of Wednesday’s AP report referring to the internal document of the Ministry at its disposal.
The HR chief of the Ministry of the Ministry Christopher Syrek told the manager of the ministry that the goal is return to the level of 2019 when This government agency, providing services to military veterans in its medical facilities, has employed less than 400,000 people. They were added to the then Democratic President Joe Biden by tens of thousands, as the number of veterans to be cared for increased.
The internal document also calls on executives to cooperate with the Office for State Administration Efficiency (Doga) led by billionaire Elon Musk, whose task is to slim down the federal authorities. The cuts at the Ministry, where they have released several thousand employees so far, have also criticized the veterans themselves, who make up more than 25 percent of employees. The latest reorganization is scheduled for August.
Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal accused the government of Republican President Donald Trump of “shameful betrayal” of veterans. Trump’s administration launched „Total attack“ Blumenthal, who is a member of the Committee of the Senate supervising veterans, said against the progress that the Ministry has achieved in expanding its services.
