Protecting Taxpayers’ Wallets Act of 2025

HR 1210, the Protecting Taxpayers’ Wallets Act of 2025, requires federal agency labor unions recognized as exclusive representatives to pay quarterly fees for using agency resources. These fees cover the value of union time (hours spent on union work during work hours) and agency resources like office space or equipment, calculated using agency pay rates and GSA/market values. Unions must pay fees within 60 days of notice, with penalties including denied union time after 90 days, termination of union certification after 365 days, and fines accruing interest. The bill directly affects federal labor unions representing agency employees, mandating payment for resource use to reduce taxpayer costs.
