On April 16, 2021, NVAC filed a National Grievance against the Agency for unilaterally implementing the COVID-19 Employee Well-Being Survey.

Further, the Agency failed to inform employees that the survey is voluntary, confidential, and anonymous, as required by Article 49 of the 2011 Master Agreement.
