No Union Time on the Taxpayer's Dime Act

# Summary: No Union Time on the Taxpayer's Dime Act (S 1313) **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would restrict the amount of paid work time that federal employees can spend on union-related activities while on the clock. Currently, federal employees may use some of their work hours for union duties like representing coworkers in grievances or labor negotiations. This bill would limit or eliminate that practice, requiring union work to happen during employees' personal time instead of paid government time. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects federal employees who are union members or representatives, as well as federal unions that represent these workers.

It could also indirectly impact federal agencies by potentially changing how labor relations are conducted. **Current Status:** S 1313 was introduced in the 119th Congress by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. The bill has not advanced beyond the initial committee review stage.
