The reorganization of the Ministry of Veterans, which are also criticized by the veterans themselves, aims to reduce the number of employees to less than 400,000.
The US Department of Veterans Affairs awaits extensive reorganization, which will expire 80,000 jobs. 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 managers of the ministry that the aim was to return to the level of 2019, when this government agency, providing services in its medical facilities to military veteran, 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 the “shameful betrayal” of veterans.
