Highlights

An advance decision was requested of an employee of the Department of the Army to have her dues allotment canceled. The Army received from an employee a signed authorization to have union dues alloted directly to a union. The employee then requested that the authorization be returned to her before any dues were alloted to the union and the agency agreed. The union filed a grievance, the agency settled the grievance in favor of the Union, and the dues were alloted to the union. Under U.S. Code, an agency must honor a written authorization for allotment of union dues when it is received, and the employee may not have the union dues returned to her. Therefore, GAO held that the employee may not be refunded any monies properly alloted to the union.
