No Union Time on the Taxpayer's Dime Act
This bill amends federal law to eliminate "official time," requiring federal employees to perform union-related activities during non-duty hours instead of during regular work time. It directly affects federal employees who are union members, as it removes the current practice of using taxpayer-funded work hours for union business. The key provision changes Section 7131 of Title 5, U.S. Code, to state that any work for a labor organization must occur outside of regular duty time. This policy change shifts the timing of union activities from paid work hours to personal time, reducing government resource use for such tasks.
