dues

* Union Dues: Dues are currently calculated at 0.009 of salary (less than 1%), assessed on gross pay up to a cap, as per the following:

* Fair Share Fee: Those who do not wish to become full members of the AAUP-AFT can pay a “Fair Share” fee that is 75% of regular dues, covering their share of the cost of union representation. Fair Share fee payers are not eligible to vote in elections for union officers or to ratify revisions to the collective bargaining agreement. They also do not qualify for non-contractual perks described below. Those who decline to pay either regular dues or the Fair Share fee will still be protected by the contract, but are obligated to pay an amount equal to 110% of dues (100% for those hired before September 1995) into a designated university-wide scholarship or research fund. Failure to meet any of these obligations will result in a two-day layoff and a corresponding loss of pay during the spring break. (Also, see Legal Notice to Bargaining Unit Members).
