No Union Time on the Taxpayer’s Dime Act

# No Union Time on the Taxpayer's Dime Act (HR 2676) - Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would restrict federal employees' use of paid work time for union-related activities. Currently, federal employees can spend a certain portion of their work hours on union duties (such as representing colleagues in grievances or negotiating contracts) while still being paid by taxpayers. This bill would limit or eliminate that practice, requiring union work to be conducted on employees' own time rather than during paid federal work hours. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects federal government workers who are union members or representatives, as well as the unions that represent them.

It could indirectly impact any federal employee who relies on union representation for workplace matters. The bill does not affect private sector unions or state/local government employees. **Current Status:** As of now, HR 2676 is in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was introduced by Representative Ben Cline (R-VA) and remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
