The House voted 368-55 Tuesday to send President Trump legislation to ease worker protections at the Department of Veterans Affairs. The legislation, written in response to recent scandals at the department over manipulation of waiting lists and poor conditions at hospitals, will make it easier to fire VA workers over such problems.

The legislation, dubbed the “Department of Veterans Affairs Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act,” also would remove the VA workers from the payroll should they contest their dismissal. Employees found guilty of wrongdoing would be prohibited from receiving bonuses or being compensated for being relocated. The legislation also would require the VA to evaluate supervisors on their ability to protect whistleblowers.
