Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 5, United States Code, to provide that agencies may not deduct labor organization dues from the pay of Federal employees, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill aims to prohibit federal agencies and the United States Postal Service from automatically deducting labor organization dues, fees, or political contributions from federal employees' paychecks. Specifically, the bill modifies existing law in Titles 5 and 39 of the United States Code to eliminate the current practice of payroll deductions for union dues. Under this proposed legislation, federal employees would no longer have union dues automatically withdrawn from their pay, which means workers would need to voluntarily pay their union dues through alternative methods. The bill, known as the Paycheck Protection Act, seeks to change the current system where unions can collect dues directly through payroll deductions, potentially making it more difficult for labor organizations to maintain consistent membership and funding. The changes would apply to both general federal agencies and the Postal Service, effectively standardizing the prohibition of automatic union dues deductions across the federal workforce.
