Luke Graziani, a 20-year Army veteran, was unexpectedly fired from his role at the Bronx Veterans Affairs hospital due to workforce cuts initiated by the Trump administration. Graziani received notice via email and felt shocked and disbelieving about losing his job just before completing a one-year probation. This mass termination affected over 1,000 employees and aimed to cut costs, reportedly saving the VA more than $98 million annually, which is intended to be allocated back to veteran healthcare and services.
"I received an email informing me that my services were no longer needed. My first thought was, This can't be real. This is not happening."
"The mass firings will save the department more than $98 million per year, which will be redirected towards health care, benefits, and services for VA beneficiaries."
