Bill > S1597

This bill would prohibit federal agencies and the United States Postal Service from automatically deducting labor union dues, fees, or political contributions from federal employees' paychecks. Currently, many federal employees have union dues automatically withdrawn from their pay through payroll deduction, a practice this bill would eliminate. By preventing these automatic deductions, the bill aims to give federal workers more control over their earnings and reduce the financial support that labor organizations receive directly through government payroll systems. The legislation would modify existing sections of Title 5 and Title 39 of the United States Code, effectively ending the current practice of mandatory union dues deductions for federal employees across all government agencies and the Postal Service. The bill's title, "Paycheck Protection Act," suggests its intent is to protect employees' paychecks by giving them the choice to pay union dues manually rather than having them automatically subtracted from their earnings.
