Transparency of Taxpayer-Funded Union Time in Federal Agencies
This new law requires federal agencies to disclose detailed information on how taxpayer money is spent on time dedicated to union activities. This will allow citizens to see the cost of maintaining unions within public administration and exactly how these funds are used, increasing transparency of public expenditures.
Key points
Federal agencies must annually report on the costs of official union time, including salaries, benefits, and travel.
Reports will detail the purpose of official time used by individual employees.
The act also requires disclosure of costs for collective bargaining negotiations, grievance processing, and union use of agency property.
Independent audits will verify that agencies properly document these expenses, ensuring data accuracy.
