Representation Fee. The parties recognize that an employee should have the option of declining to participate as a member in the Union, yet contribute financially to the activities of the Union in representing such employee as a member of the collective bargaining unit. Therefore, as an alternative to and in lieu of the membership requirements of the previous sections of this Article, an employee who declines membership in the Union shall pay to the Union each month a representation fee, as calculated by the Union on an annual basis, as a contribution towards the administration of this Agreement in an amount equal to the regular monthly dues. This representation fee shall be collected by the College in the same manner as monthly dues, upon written request from the Union.
