For Union Veterans Council, advocating for jobs and training is a top priority. Among the main points are strengthen and enforce veterans’ preference laws and advocate that upon discharge from active duty, veterans need to be better informed of their veterans’ preference rights.
Also of concern to the UVC is that a veteran has the ability to obtain services post active duty including…
Ensure that the Post-9/11 GI Bill be upgraded and streamlined in order to provide all veterans a generous and equitable benefit.
Grant Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits to veterans who enroll in apprenticeships, on-the-job training, and vocational training.
Ensure the Congress does not curtail federal support for Helmets to Hardhats and expands similar programs such as Troops to Teachers, Warriors in Welding and Veterans in Construction Electrical.
