WASHINGTON: According to an internal memo of the soldiers, the Department of Veterans is planning to cut more than 80,000 workers from the Affairs Agency, which, according to a Reuters’ internal memo, is condemning military experienced groups and Democrats.
VA’s Chief of Staff, Christopher Serk, sent a memo to senior agency officials on Tuesday, and informed them that the purpose was to return the agency to the staff level of only 400,000. This would mean cutting about 82 82,000 staff.
The memo instructed the agency staff to work with the performance of the government of the Tech billionaire Elon Musk’s department so that they could reduce deductions. It states that the two goals were to “eliminate waste” and “increase the workforce performance”.
The scale planned in VA is much higher than the proposed deductions in other government agencies and will target a department that takes care of one of the most dear groups in the United States.
“Now, we regret anyone who loses his job, and for me, especially as a VA leader and your secretary, it is difficult for people to make such decisions,” said Doug Collins, secretary of Veterans Affairs, in a video on Wednesday.
VA provides a huge row of benefits and medical support to veterans, and critics of the project said that this shortage would have a negative impact on the care.
“Experts and their families will have to suffer unnecessarily,” said Evevete Kelly, head of the American Federation of Government Employees, who represents 311,000 VA employees.
Musk and his team have been entrusted with President Donald Trump to reduce the size and cost of the Federal Bureaucracy. According to Reuters, to date, about 25,000 US government workers have been fired, and more than 75,000 people have purchased 2.3 million federal civilian manpower.
Senate Special Committee Senior Democrat Petty Murray said the job deductions marked the addition of Trump and the “without any prevention attack on veterans”, which would put the health benefits of veterans into a “serious risk”.
A spokesman for the Republican Chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, Jerry Moran, did not respond to the request to comment immediately. The VA and the White House did not respond to the comments requests.
Republican US Senator Lindsay Graham, who is an ally of a Trump, was surprised by the size of the planned cuts. Graham told reporters, “I am sure the VA can be reduced. But if you are experienced, if you read it in paper, it is like you.”
Richard Bloonthl, a senior Democrat for the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee, said that deduction in the job is a step in the project to privatize VA services. “This is a shameful treachery,” said Bloonthl in a statement.
During his first term as president, Trump signed a law in 2018, which was paid by the VA until the care of the private sector’s private sector.
Naveed Shah, political director of the Common Defense, Common Defense, denied the planned roofs.
“He is embracing the system designed to take care of our brothers and sisters in the arms.”
News of Tuesday’s memo came to light one day when the Trump administration suffered a temporary blow to efforts to eliminate the Federal bureaucracy workers.
A board that reviews the firing of federal employees has ordered the US Department of Agriculture to temporarily restore thousands of workers who have lost their job as part of Trump and Kasturi.
Following the decision of a federal judge, the Trump administration directed to dismiss probationary workers on Tuesday.
The Federal Work Force Human Resource Arm, Personal Management Office reviewed a memo that it was not advising agencies to dismiss probationary workers on performance -related basis.
An OPM official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said it was up to individual agencies to do what their probationary employees have to do, and they can still be allowed to go.
