Yes and no. Federal Withholding is usually Federal income tax. FICA is Social Security. Different percentage, goes to a different place.

Federal and state income taxes, and FICA
It would seem logical that a negotiator who is a full time employee of, for example, the Teamsters Union, would be subject to FICA withholding taxes.
It should be listed as FICA. Listed next to Federal and State withholding, you'll also see FICA - that is your contribution to Social Security.
In 2009, the IRS set annual Social Security wage base limit at $106,800 at 6.2%. That would make the maximum FICA withholdings $6,621.60.
No. However, if you have wages that have been subject to FICA withholding your do not have to pay self-employment tax. SE Tax is 15% on all self-employment income. The FICA withholding from wages is only 7-1/2 percent for you and the employer pays the other 7-1/2 percent.
