A member of the Senate Finance Committee has introduced a bill that would exempt the Internal Revenue Service from unionizing.
Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.) says his bill corrects an overly political culture in the IRS.
My legislation will help end the partisan culture at the IRS by exempting the agency from labor organization and collective bargaining requirements. We should put the 200-plus employees currently doing union work back to serving the American taxpayers, not their union bosses and the politicians they support, Scott said in a statement announcing the legislation.
The End the Partisan IRS Culture (EPIC) Act would amend the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute by stripping the agency of labor organization and collective bargaining requirements.
