Veterans Integrated Service Network Demand To Bargain
The Department of Veterans Affairs geographically divided healthcare services into 18 individualized administrative areas called the Veterans Integrated Service Network (VISN). These VISNs help to segment and better serve veterans and their healthcare needs. Bargaining Unit Employees (BUEs) within VISNs have a right to better working conditions. AFGE National VA Council works to enforce and expand these rights.
To improve searchability of files that may affect you and your departments, the following naming conventions were created:
