Outcome

The appeals court affirmed the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the Union, holding that the VA Under Secretary exceeded his statutory authority by excluding unfair labor practice charges from collective bargaining review under 38 U.S.C. § 7422(b). The charges involved alleged reprisal for union testimony and were not properly characterized as matters of 'professional conduct or competence.'
