ARTICLE 31 - FAIR SHARE
31.1 Dues Deduction.
The College shall deduct from the check of all employees
in the bargaining unit who are not members of the
Association a fair share fee in lieu of dues.
31.1.1 Contracted
employees: The fair share fee shall be divided into
equal monthly installments sufficient to pay the total
fee by the end of June.
31.1.2 Part-time employees: The
monthly fair share fee shall be one-ninth (1/9) of the
annual dues for part-time employees based on the
expected level of employment. The College shall
deduct the uniform monthly fee each month the
part-time employee actually works and receives
compensation from the College, up to nine (9) equal
payments in any academic year including summer. Such
deductions shall begin the first month the employee
receives pay from the College. Because the dues for
part-time faculty may change depending on the amount
of employment over the year, the monthly fee may be
uniform over a term, but may change from term to term
to compensate for changes in dues based on employment
for the year.
31.1.3 The total fair share fee
shall be equal to the total OEA/NEA/LCCEA dues paid by
Association members in comparable categories of
membership (i.e., contracted, part time, etc.). The
amount of such dues for each employee shall be
certified by the Association.
31.1.4 The fair share deductions
shall be transmitted to the Association in the same
manner as are the payroll deducted dues for
Association members.
31.1.5 Contracted employees who
are added to the bargaining unit winter or spring
quarter and who are not members of the Association
shall have a prorated fair share fee deducted from
their paychecks. The prorated amount shall be divided
into equal installments starting with the next
scheduled paycheck and ending in June.
31.2 Fair Share Deduction.
An exception to this Article will be allowed based on
bona fide religious tenents or teachings of a church or
religious body of which the employee is a member. Such
employee shall pay an amount of money equivalent to full
OEA/NEA/LCCEA dues only to a nonreligious charity or to
another charitable organization mutually agreed upon by
the employee and the Association. The employee shall
furnish written proof to the College that this has been
done.
31.3 Hold Harmless Clause. The
Association agrees to hold the College harmless against
any and all claims, suits, orders, or judgments brought
against the College as a result of the provisions of this
Article.
