VA workers plan informational picket over budget impasse
Up to 100 Veterans Affairs Medical Center workers will picket along Highway 6 from 8 am to 5 pm to protest furloughs and no pay due to Congress and the budget stalemate. AFGE Local 2547 leader Kirt Sickels says about 600 of 1272 employees are affected with many furloughs and unpaid days. VA management supports the action but warns only Congress can resolve the funding deadlock.
