Bill > S1313

This bill, known as the "No Union Time on the Taxpayer's Dime Act," proposes to eliminate official time for federal employees performing labor organization activities. Currently, federal employees are allowed to conduct certain union-related work during their paid work hours (known as "official time"), but this bill would require that all labor organization business be conducted when employees are not on duty status. Specifically, the bill would amend Section 7131 of Title 5 of the United States Code to mandate that any activities related to a labor organization must be performed when an employee is not being paid or is not on the clock. This change would effectively prohibit federal employees from conducting union business during their paid work hours, potentially impacting the ability of federal employee unions to manage workplace representation, grievance procedures, and other labor-management interactions. The bill represents a significant shift in how federal employee unions can operate and interact with management during standard work hours.
