Take Action To End U.S. Passport Outsourcing
National security has been compromised by outsourcing of the manufacturing of the United States passport book cover and RFID electronic chip to a foreign company in Europe. The book cover and chip are produced in Europe and then shipped to Thailand to have the chip’s antenna added before being shipped to the U.S. Making matters even worse, the company acknowledged last year that the Chinese government had stolen the patent for the chip. Congress must put a stop to this dangerous practice by passing HR 5752, which will require that the U.S. passport be completely manufactured in the U.S.
Help Restore Bargaining Rights for VA Health Care Professionals
February 26, 2008 - In 1991, Congress amended Title 38 to provide Department of Veterans’ Affairs medical professionals with collective bargaining rights (which include the rights to use the negotiated grievance procedure and arbitration). Under Sec. 7422 of Title 38, covered employees can negotiate, file grievances and arbitrate disputes over working conditions except for matters concerning or arising out of professional conduct or competence, peer review, or compensation. Increasingly, VA management is interpreting these exceptions very broadly, and refusing to bargain over virtually every significant workplace issue affecting medical professionals.
