NFFE-IAM Federal lodge 1641 stands with our brothers and sisters in AFGE, we also weep for Alex and our country!

The National VA Council is deeply saddened by the loss of one of our own, Alex Pretti, of Local 3669. Alex was an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA Hospital and answered the call faithfully every day to care for our veterans. This tragedy has shaken us all because what happens to one of us impacts all of us. We send our deepest condolences to the Pretti family during this difficult time.

To Alex: Your selfless sacrifice to serve our veterans will forever be remembered. May you rest in peace. We will continue the mission you dedicated your life to. - President MJ Burke
