First, I’m aware of what’s going on with the strike. In recent months, I had the privilege of visiting a number of military bases across the country and I saw first-hand that people were on strike.

I think negotiations will take place at the bargaining table. We want to make sure that employees end up with an acceptable contract, considering the important work they do for veterans across the country.

Once again, I hope that these negotiations will continue, since the bargaining table is the best place for both parties to get satisfying commitments.
