I can’t believe pro-union Biden is going to keep allowing this kind of mismanagement continue. Maybe his team hasn’t received the memo? I guess only numbers matter and not employees.[/quote]

I have no doubt that the new VA Secretary will do his best to improve employee relations at the agency; however, we’ve seen this story play out before. During the Obama Administration, then Secretary McDonald installed a reformer at the Board to address the rampant culture of discrimination and sexual harassment. Carol was a great leader. She worked very hard to address these problems and allowed employees to voice concerns without fear. While Carol was in charge, the career VA managers parroted Carol’s actions and words. And, the known sexual harassers at the Board laid low. But, when Carol left in January 2017 with the change in administration, the management returned to their old ways.

I fear for anyone at the Board who reports discrimination or sexual harassment to management. Ask the union about the problem managers and judges.  If history is any guide, upper management will not discipline any manager or judge who has engaged in discrimination or harassment, unless the victims are upper managers (i.e., the Forum of Hate scandal, where five judges and attorneys were fired/forced to resign after they made racial slurs about upper managers). There can be no lasting change without removing the problem career managers and judges.

It does not appear that Biden or the Secretary plan on replacing the current BVA Chair.  Numbers numbers numbers.  Apparently, who cares about bad employee morale and ruined careers when you can get numbers?
