After three months of picketing service workers voted to end their strike in September 2015. Union organizer Gary Roeckel cites loss of benefits and protections and urges federal action. The House and Senate approved a funding bill reauthorizing FLETC with centers in Georgia, South Carolina, Maryland, Botswana and New Mexico. It sets a career reserved director and housing for trainees, while noting no new spending. Udall discusses bipartisan support and future cabinet vetting.
