How are union dues or service fees paid?
A. Under the terms of the collective bargaining agreement, all covered Lecturers must pay either “union membership dues” or “a representation-service fee” to the LEO union, at rates established by the union. A representation-service fee is an amount paid by those who opt not to become full members of the union and thus do not have voting rights. Newly-employed bargaining unit members may choose to pay “dues” or “fees”, typically via after-tax payroll deduction. Note that academic units must provide all newly hired Lecturers with a dues/fees card.
