'The current practice of federal agencies serving as unions’ dues collectors pushes administrative costs onto taxpayers, shields federal unions from accountability, and makes it harder for federal workers to end their union membership.' -Rachel Greszler
Direct paycheck deductions make unions less accountable to their members because few workers actually examine their paychecks to know what they are paying. That makes workers less likely to think about whether the cost is worth the benefits they receive, and it makes it easier for unions to increase workers’ dues without them realizing it. Moreover, changing a paycheck deduction is usually a more burdensome and time-consuming process than canceling a membership that a worker pays themselves.
Having the federal government serve as the bill collector for federal employee unions makes it harder for workers to cancel their union membership. Unlike canceling a membership online through the organization’s website or ending automatic bank payments, federal workers cannot go to the source of their payment—their employer through their paychecks—to get out of their union.
The Paycheck Protection Act would help federal employees by requiring their unions to be more transparent and accountable to them. It would protect taxpayers by no longer requiring them to foot the bill for a private organization’s bill collections. And it would eliminate the special-interest bill collection subsidy granted to federal employee unions.
