ARTICLE 15 - REPRESENTATION FEE
- If a member of the bargaining unit represented by the Association
does not become a member of the Association during any membership year
(i.e., from September 1 to the following August 31) which is covered
in whole or in part by this Agreement, that bargaining unit member
will be required to pay a represetation fee to the Association for
that membership year to offset the costs of services rendered by the
Association as majority representative.
- Prior to the beginning of each membership year, the Association
will notify the Board, in writing, of the amount of the membership
dues, initiation fees, and assessments charged by the Association
to its own members for that membership year. The representation fee
to be paid by non-members will be equal to the maximum allowed by law.
- The Board agrees to deduct from the salary of any member of the
bargaining unit represented by the Association who is not a member
of the Association for the current membership year the full amount
of the representation fee set forth above and promptly to transmit
the amount so deducted to the Association. The Board agrees to
deduct the representation fee in equal installments, as nearly as
possible, from the paychecks of those concerned during the remainder
of the membership year in question. The deduction for a particular
person will begin no longer than thirty (30) days after that person
fills a bargaining unit position.
- Except as otherwise provided in this Article, the mechanics for
the deduction of representation fee and the transmission of such fee
to the Association will, as nearly as possible, be the same as those
used for the deduction and transmissionof regular membership dues
to the Association.
- The Association agrees to indemnify and hold the Board harmless
against any liability for damages and legal fees which may arise
by reason of any action taken by the Board in complying with the
provisions of this Article.
