V.A. POLICIES REGARDING UNIONS, PRIVATIZATION, PENSIONS, AND… 2
THE VETERANS AFFAIRS AND THE UNIONS
To better identify problems and craft solutions, promote productivity and to have the best service
delivered to our nation’s veterans; the Veterans Affairs and the Union have to agree that such
quality of service can only be achieves by constructive and cooperative working relationship
between both parties. Furthermore, such working relationship should be constructed on a solid
foundation of trust, common grounds, and with a shared responsibility for departmental success.
According to the Master Agreement Handbook between the Veterans Affairs and the American
Federation of Government Employees, the three policies and procedures of the Veterans Affairs
regarding the Union are: “Details and Temporary Promotions, Alternative Dispute Resolution,
and Discipline and Adverse Action”(VA & AFGE 2011 P.10).
Details and Temporary Promotions: The purpose of this policy is to explain rights and
responsibilities related to management’s right to effect details and temporary promotions. “The
world “detail” refers to temporary assignment of an employee to a different position for a
specified period of time; with the employee returning to their regular duties at the end of the
detail” (VA & AFGE 2011 P.41). Nevertheless, before such temporary assignment or promotion
can go into effect, management would have to give both the Union (AFGE) and the employee a
two weeks’ notice prior to the effective date of the temporary assignment or promotion. Both
management and the employee have responsibilities in ensuring that all temporary assignments
and promotions go accordingly. Management responsibilities are as follows: Managers must
document all temporary assignments and promotions longer than one week in Office of
Personnel File; Analyze temporary assignments and promotions outside duty station and allow
duty time for travel as needed. Employees on the other hand should document their temporary
assignments and their promotions of less than one week in electronic Office of Personnel File.
