Ensuring Transparency, Accountability, and Efficiency in Taxpayer-Funded Union Time Use

What it means

Restricts "taxpayer-funded union time" (paid time federal employees spend on union activities) by limiting it to 1 hour per employee annually. Requires written pre-approval for union time and mandates that employees spend at least 75% of paid time on agency business each fiscal year.

Expected impact

• Reduced union activity in federal workplaces as employees must limit time spent on union representation
• More detailed tracking and reporting of union-related activities by federal agencies
• Potential friction between federal unions and agency management over implementation
• Increased transparency through new public reporting requirements on union time usage
