Practice question
A nonmember in the appropriate bargaining unit accepts the negotiated CBA wage benefits. The statutory reasonable equivalent agency fee is assessed. The worker objects solely that no individual authorization was signed. Which is best?
- The exception applies only to people outside the unit.
- Acceptance of CBA benefits is legally irrelevant.
- The employer may instead deduct any amount whatsoever.
- That objection alone does not defeat the express statutory nonmember exception.
- The fee necessarily makes the worker a union officer.
