  • 29 U.S.C. 411

    SEC. 106. RIGHT NOT TO SUBSIDIZE UNION NONREPRESENTATIONAL ACTIVITIES. No employee's labor organization dues, fees, or assessments or other contributions shall be used or contributed to any person, organization, or entity for any purpose not directly related to the labor organization's collective bargaining or contract administration functions on behalf of the represented unit employee unless the employee whether a member of the labor organization or a nonmember required to make such payments as a condition of employment, authorizes such expenditure in writing, after a notice period of not less than 35 days. An initial authorization provided by an employee under the preceding sentence shall expire not later than 1 year after the date on which such authorization is signed by the employee. There shall be no automatic renewal of an authorization under this section.

    This establishes new restrictions on how labor organizations can use dues, requiring employee consent for non-representational activities.
