Protecting Taxpayers’ Wallets Act of 2025
S 511 requires federal labor organizations (like unions representing government employees) to pay quarterly fees for using agency resources and union time. Fees are calculated based on the agency's hourly pay rate for employees (including benefits) for union time, plus market rates for resources like office space, equipment, or parking. Non-payment triggers penalties: denial of union time after 90 days, termination of union allotments after 180 days, and loss of exclusive representation certification after 365 days. The bill aims to offset costs of federal resources used for union activities, with fees deposited into the Treasury general fund.
