- The agency-fee basis does not itself establish membership or authority for an unrelated extraordinary assessment
- Agency deduction automatically signs every membership document
- All fees share one unlimited legal basis
- Accepting CBA benefits waives every deduction safeguard
- A nonmember can never receive CBA benefits
