H.R. 2676, the "No Union Time on the Taxpayer's Dime Act," would eliminate "official time"—the practice that allows federal employees to perform union-related work during their paid work hours. Under current law, federal employees can spend a portion of their official working time on union business, such as representing coworkers in grievances or negotiating contracts, while still being paid by taxpayers. This bill would prohibit that practice and require all union-related activities to occur only during employees' personal, non-working time. The legislation would affect federal workers who are union members or representatives and aims to reduce what supporters view as taxpayer-funded union activities, though critics argue it could weaken workers' ability to address workplace issues. No specific funding or implementation timeline is included in the bill text.
