- Yes, the statute contains no agency-fee exception
- Yes, acceptance of CBA benefits is legally irrelevant
- Yes, nonmembers can never be assessed any fee
- No; the statutory agency-fee exception applies to the qualifying nonmembers who accept the CBA benefits
- No, because every deduction of any kind is exempt
