It would amend 5 U.S.C. 7115 and 39 U.S.C. 1205 to bar agencies and the Postal Service from deducting those amounts and to update the code headings.

  • Federal employees — Would no longer have union dues, fees, or political contributions automatically taken from pay. They would need to pay or contribute by other means.
  • Postal Service employees — Would face the same ban on payroll deductions for dues, fees, and political contributions collected through pay.
  • Labor organizations — Would lose an automatic channel for collecting regular dues and political contributions and would need alternative collection methods.
