The "Paycheck Protection Act" seeks to prevent federal agencies and the Postal Service from automatically deducting certain payments from their employees' salaries. Specifically, it prohibits the deduction of labor organization dues , fees, or political contributions directly from the paychecks of federal employees. This legislation would amend section 7115 of title 5, United States Code, which applies to federal agencies, and section 1205 of title 39, United States Code, which pertains to the Postal Service. The proposed changes would mandate that employees wishing to contribute to labor organizations or political causes do so through direct payments rather than payroll deductions.
