Unions Must Pay for Federal Employee Time and Agency Resources
This law requires federal employee labor organizations to pay government agencies for the work time spent on union activities and for the use of agency resources like office space and equipment. The goal is to shift these costs from taxpayers to the unions themselves, potentially saving public funds. Failure to pay these fees can result in the union losing its ability to represent employees in disputes and ultimately losing its certification.
Key points
Labor organizations must pay federal agencies for the time their representatives spend on union business while on duty (known as "union time").
Fees also cover the value of agency resources used, such as office space or equipment, valued at market rates.
Failure to pay fees on time results in interest charges, denial of further union time, and loss of the right to arbitration or filing unfair labor practice complaints.
After 380 days of non-payment, the union's certification as the exclusive representative of agency employees will be terminated.
