On October 16, the National VA Council filed a motion with Judge DuBose to modify the preliminary injunction and a national grievance challenging VA’s bad faith conduct at the bargaining table.

These filings are steps in the ongoing fight—not a ruling restoring our contract. We’ll keep our members informed as developments unfold.

AFGE Local 2280 remains committed to standing up for the employees who serve our veterans. Your membership helps sustain that fight.

Standing together. Staying informed. Union strong.

This administration has proposed a 0% pay increase for most federal employees in 2027, while employees’ health insurance premiums are set to rise nearly 11% on average. Higher costs and frozen wages mean a cut to take-home pay.

Federal workers—including those caring for our veterans—deserve better. Tell Congress to support the FAIR Act and its proposed 4.1% pay adjustment. Take action at the link below!

President Lisa Basanese and Vice President Wyatt Gibler attending the AFGE Leadership Summit for 2026.

Pictured is our District Seven Leaders, serving our members in Michigan, Wisconsin and Illinois!

600 AFGE leaders laid a clear roadmap for the new two years, highlighting these top three priorities:

1.) Retain and grow membership
- By building stronger relationships with our members, communicating consistently, and training members to organize

2.) Restore and Protect Collective Bargaining
- By electing members of congress who are pro labor, increase advocacy and outreach, and enforce those agreements by holding management accountable!

3.) Get out to VOTE for pro-labor candidates
- Educate our members about candidates documented labor records, hold candidate forums and town halls, and work with our labor and community partners.
