Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs
The Paycheck Protection Act (S. 1597) amends Titles 5 and 39 of the U.S. Code to prohibit federal agencies and the U.S. Postal Service from deducting labor union dues, fees, or political contributions from employee paychecks, effectively ending automatic payroll deduction systems for union-related expenses across the federal government and postal service.
Key Points
- 1Federal agencies are explicitly barred from deducting any amount for labor organization dues, fees, or political contributions from employee pay under amended Section 7115 of Title 5.
- 2The U.S. Postal Service must similarly cease all payroll deductions for union dues or political contributions from postal worker salaries per changes to Section 1205 of Title 39.
- 3The legislation eliminates existing payroll deduction mechanisms that unions rely on for automatic dues collection from federal and postal employees nationwide.
