Executive Order 13837: Union Time Use Transparency and Accountability
On May 25, 2018, President Trump signed Executive Order 13837, requiring federal agencies to track and report how much paid time employees spend on union activities. The order mandates agencies establish procedures to monitor union representational work performed during paid federal time and implement new restrictions on union access to federal facilities and employee time. The confirmed effect is that federal employees' union representation time became subject to direct agency monitoring and reporting, and agencies reduced union access to facilities and employee contact during work hours.
