Employees at the Atlanta VA are demanding action on behalf of the patients they treat.

They held a rally Tuesday afternoon at the VA Atlanta Medical Center.

Organizers said low staffing levels are putting patients' safety at risk.

The workers are also demanding that the Department of Veterans’ Affairs fills all vacancies immediately.

The employees said veterans deserve the highest quality of care, but can't get that if there is not enough medical staff available.
