I further understand that under current federal and state law I may elect nonmember status and may satisfy any obligation under a CBA to retain my employment by paying an amount equal to the uniform dues and initiation fees required of Union members. I understand that I may elect not to join or remain a Union member and may object to paying the pro-rata share of Union dues or fees not germane to collective bargaining, contract administration, and grievance adjustment and may request that the Union provide me with information concerning its most recent allocation of expenditures devoted to activities both germane and not germane to its performance as the collective bargaining agent so that I may decide whether or not to become an objector, and that non-members who choose to object to paying the pro-rata portion of regular Union dues or fees not germane to collective bargaining will be entitled to a reduction in fees based on the aforementioned allocation of expenditures as well as the right to challenge the propriety and accuracy of the allocation. Upon request the process for filing such a challenge will be provided by the Union. I have read and understood the options available to me.
