Bill > HR2676

This bill aims to eliminate "official time," which is a practice that allows federal employees who are also union representatives to conduct union-related activities during their paid work hours. Currently, federal employees can spend a certain amount of their workday on union business while still being paid by the government. The bill would amend section 7131 of title 5 of the United States Code to require that any activities related to a labor organization must be performed when the employee is not on official duty status, effectively ending the practice of being paid by taxpayers while performing union work. This means federal employees would need to conduct union-related activities during their personal time, such as before or after work, during lunch breaks, or on weekends, without compensation from their federal employer. The bill's title, "No Union Time on the Taxpayer's Dime Act," reflects its intent to prevent federal employees from being paid for time spent on union activities.
