Paycheck Protection Act

This bill would stop federal agencies from taking union dues out of federal employees’ paychecks. In short, payroll offices could no longer withhold money for labor union dues from pay. The bill changes federal law to make this rule clear in title 5 of the U.S. Code.

Key points:

• Who is affected: Federal employees, federal agencies, and labor unions representing federal workers.
• What changes: Agencies may not deduct labor organization dues from employee paychecks.
• When: The change would take effect if the bill becomes law.
