Agency Shop–Agreement which requires that all employ- ees in the bargaining unit who do not join the employee organization pay a representation fee in lieu of union dues to help defray the organization’s expenses as exclusive representative. In New Jersey, in accordance with the Employer-Employee Relations Act, the avail- ability of an agency shop arrangement is a negotiable topic. The New Jersey Law establishes several condi- tions for this agreement, including specific directions relegating the representation fee. Under the Law, those fees cannot exceed 85% of the regular membership dues. These fees must be based upon the union’s expenditures, for bargaining and relevant lobbying activities, in the previous year. The right to determine the fee rests with the union; the employer has no role in establishing the fee. However, before an employer may deduct a representation fee from an employee’s paycheck, a union must establish a demand and return system. See Demand and Return System.
