Fair Share Representation Fee Sample Clauses
The Fair Share Representation Fee clause establishes a requirement for non-union employees who benefit from union representation to contribute a fee to the union. This fee is typically set to cover the costs of collective bargaining, contract administration, and grievance processes that the union undertakes on behalf of all employees, regardless of membership status. By ensuring that all beneficiaries of union-negotiated agreements share in the costs, this clause prevents 'free riding' and helps maintain the financial stability of the union.
