The "Protecting Taxpayers' Wallets Act of 2025" introduces a new requirement for federal agencies to charge labor organizations for their use of agency resources and employee time. Specifically, agencies must impose a quarterly fee on exclusive representative labor organizations, calculated as the sum of the value of union time spent by labor representatives and the value of agency resources provided for union use. The bill defines "union time" as an employee's time spent on non-agency business while on duty, including official time, and specifies that the value of this time is based on the labor representative's hourly rate of pay. The value of agency resources, such as office space or equipment, is determined using General Services Administration rates or market rates. Importantly, these value determinations are not subject to collective bargaining, grievance procedures, or unfair labor practice complaints . The bill outlines a stringent enforcement mechanism for unpaid fees, including accruing interest and escalating penalties. These penalties range from denying further union time and resources after 90 days to terminating union dues allotments after 180 days, and ultimately, terminating the labor organization's certification as an exclusive representative after 380 days of non-payment. Furthermore, the legislation mandates that agencies track the use of union time by labor representatives, with failure to record such use resulting in adverse action for the employee, which is also not subject to typical review processes. The bill explicitly states that agencies cannot forgive, reimburse, or waive any charged fees. To ensure compliance, agency Inspectors General are required to conduct biennial evaluations of their agency's and relevant labor organizations' adherence to these new requirements.
