Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill requires federal agencies to submit detailed annual reports to Congress and post them publicly starting June 30 each year, documenting how they spend money on union-related activities and "official time"—paid time federal employees spend on labor union duties rather than regular job responsibilities. The reports must break down costs by individual employee (including their salary, bonuses, and benefits), explain the purpose of each official time authorization, and account for all agency spending related to union negotiations, grievances, arbitration, travel, and the use of federal property and facilities by labor organizations. The legislation also directs the Government Accountability Office to audit federal agencies at least every four years to ensure they are using proper accounting practices to track these expenses. Overall, the bill aims to increase transparency around union-related activities in federal agencies by requiring standardized reporting of what taxpayers are funding.
