S 1597 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Paycheck Protection Act

This bill prohibits federal agencies and the U.S. Postal Service from deducting labor organization dues, fees, or political contributions from employee paychecks. It directly affects federal workers and postal employees by ensuring their union dues are not automatically withheld from their pay. The key provision amends existing laws (5 U.S.C. § 7115 and 39 U.S.C. § 1205) to explicitly ban these payroll deductions. The policy change ensures employees retain full control over how they pay union dues, without automatic payroll withholding.
