Common use of Fair Share Fees Clause in Contracts

Fair Share Fees. No member of the bargaining unit shall be required to become a member of the BGSU-FA as a condition for securing or retaining employment at the University. The University shall deduct from each employee covered by this Agreement who is not a member of the BGSU-FA (“fair share fee payer”) an amount which shall not exceed regular union dues, and the BGSU-FA shall provide to fair share fee payers such rights and remedies as required by law (including applicable annual notice and right to challenge the allocation of chargeable and non-chargeable BGSU-FA expenses). In addition, annually, the BGSU-FA shall provide the University the applicable documents provided to fair share fee payers so that the University may assure itself that the BGSU-FA is complying with applicable law. The BGSU-FA shall promptly provide such documents to the University. In the event that the BGSU-FA fails to provide the applicable documents to the University, the University shall request the documents in writing, at which time the BGSU-FA shall have two weeks to provide the documents. The University’s obligation to continue to deduct fair share fees is conditioned upon its good faith determination that the BGSU-FA is complying with all applicable laws with respect to the rights of fair share fee payers. If the University believes the BGSU- FA is not so complying, it shall promptly state its basis in writing to the BGSU- FA. Any dispute between the parties regarding the BGSU-FA’s compliance shall be resolved through the grievance and arbitration procedures of this Agreement on an expedited basis, but this provision shall not prevent a fair share fee payer from pursuing any and all rights outside this Agreement. Payments by members of the bargaining unit holding religious objections shall be governed by applicable law (Section 4117.09(C) of the Ohio Revised Code, as amended).
