Toxic Workplace Investigations at the Department of Veterans Affairs
The Government Accountability Office has announced that it will investigate claims of systemic racism within the Department of Veterans Affairs. The announcement comes two months after a government union said most of its surveyed members saw racism as a problem inside the agency. The survey of 1,500 union members who are VA employees concluded that nearly 80 percent of staffers said racism is a moderate or serious issue, with more than half reporting they had witnessed racism aimed at veterans, according to the American Federation of Government Employees.
