FEDERAL EMPLOYEES NEWS DIGEST

staged protests at multiple facilities nationwide in recent weeks, demanding that the department expedite filling some 49,000 vacancies to ensure veterans receive the care they need.

Federation of Government Employees President J.

Veterans around the country are being forced to wait longer for care.”

SORT OF A TRICK QUESTION: WHAT IS

VA hospital employees demand agency to fill thousands of vacancies VETERANS AFFAIRS HOSPITAL EMPLOYEES

INSIGHT Number games

At one such protest took place at the Denver VA Medical Center. At this facility, there are about 600 vacant positions, leaving massive holes among needed clinical staff—ranging from doctors and nurses to administrative and support positions.

The situation has left employees overworked and veterans suffering through extended wait times to get treatment, according to the union.

“I’m done.”

“Our employees are becoming very frustrated … I’ve had some that just say ‘I’m done,’ and leave because of the overwhelming workload,” Bernard Humbles, president of AFGE Local 2241, said. “We need to fill these positions.”

Even when hiring is completed, there remains a tremendous turnover problem at many VA facilities—according to the union and veterans organizations consulted by FEND. For example, although the Denver VA hospital acquired 800 new employees in 2016, approximately 600 of those quickly separated from service, in part because of the pressures created by understaffing and low pay as compared to private hospitals and other employers.

The protests, which have been going on for several weeks, have provided political lift to two bills being introduced in

the most important thing to come out of Washington, D.C? (Remember, this is a family-friendly publication, so it’s not what you were going to say).

The answer has a $38 billion impact on members of the federal family, both active and retired. And the future of your CSRS and FERS retirement programs. What you will pay for them and what you will get back in retirement. Even if FERS will exist for new hires.

The answer, of course, is numbers.

The jillions of numbers/statistics/estimates the federal government (Pentagon, Labor Department, HUD, Agriculture, you name it) generate every day. Numbers that impact the status of our military.

Numbers that determine your pay raise, or inflation-adjustments for federal, military and Social Security retirees. Numbers that fly out of the House and Senate almost all designed to prove that the person or agency that generated the numbers is on the side of the angels while anyone who doubts them is full of it.

It was a trick question because it said nothing about the accuracy of those numbers. It dealt with volume and impact.

Not whether the numbers are even close to being correct or meaningful in any way. Are they important? Yes. Are they accurate? Sometimes. Maybe. Often not.

Often they were part of talking points to convince people, from politicians to voters, to do something. Or not do something. Based on numbers that may or may not be even close to the truth.

Numbers depend on lots of things.

Where they came from, who generated
