Monterey, CA Veterans Administration Admits 5,000 Employees Being Disciplined
by Richard Kuehn on 11/08/14
The Department of Veterans
Affairs has admitted that more than 5,000 employees are currently subject to disciplinary proposals over the much publicized scandal over care delays. VA Secretary
Robert McDonald
has told the media that his position on disciplining employees is trying to walk
the line between quick action and treating employees fairly. However, he has
left both veterans advocates and employee groups upset with the middle
ground he has staked out. Although this may seem like a wishy-washy position, let's all be thankful that this remains in the front page of the mainstream press. There is no question that his every move is being watched and he will be doing what he can to fix the situation quickly.
