Political Actions Committee 

We  are  working  with  our  allied organizations to ensure  these  programs  continue,  are funded  and  tax  considerations  are  addressed.    Ask us  if  you  have questions    

We  have  successfully acquired $7  million  for  FSIS  to  staff  the  excessive  SPHV  vacant  positions.    We continue  to  work  with  Congress    and  FSIS to  help  recrutment recruitment and   retention.

The  work  of  our  members  is  protecting the  health  of  humans, animals  and  the  environmeny  the  essence  of  One  Health.    Helping  to  pass  the  one  Heath  Act  will  help  our  members  coordinate  across  Agency  lines   

Equity  with  other  professions is a key goal of ours.  Working to close the pay gap has been a goal for a long hard uphill battle. But we continue to advocate for specialty pay and won’t give up.

Veterinarians  in  APHIS  have their reimbursable overtime pay capped at a GS-10  level.  We are working to change this so they are fairly compensated for their professional services.

Along with  our  allied organizations  we  monitor  pending legislation that  may  impact  federal  veterinarians.  Evaluation our position on the issue and let that position be known.
