Increased Transparency for Taxpayer-Funded Federal Employee Union Time.

This bill mandates that federal agencies annually publish detailed reports on how taxpayer money is spent on "official time," which is the time federal employees dedicate to union activities while on the clock. Citizens will gain access to specific data regarding costs, hours, and salaries of employees utilizing this time, enhancing public oversight of government spending. These reports must be posted publicly on agency websites.
Key points
Federal agencies must annually disclose the total cost of taxpayer-funded time spent by employees on union activities (official time).
Reports will be publicly posted, detailing the position, annual rate of basic pay, and the exact number of hours each employee spent on union duties.
Agencies must report the monetary value of union use of agency property (like offices) provided at no cost or a discounted rate, and any related expenses paid by the agency.
