This bill would prohibit federal employees from using "official time" to conduct union business. Currently, federal law allows union representatives and certain employees to perform union-related activities during work hours while being paid by the government. Under this legislation, any union business would have to be conducted during employees' personal time, not during hours paid by taxpayers. The bill directly affects federal workers who are union members or representatives, as well as federal agencies that currently accommodate union activities during the workday. The legislation contains no specific funding or implementation timeline beyond its effective date upon passage.
