Such fee so required to be paid shall be payable on or after the thirtieth (30th) day next following the beginning of employment of such member of the bargaining unit or on or after the thirtieth (30th) day next following the effective date of this Agreement, whichever shall be later. Such fee may be paid by payroll deduction if so authorized pursuant to an Agency Service Fee Deduction Authorization; provided, however, that such authorization shall be deemed to have effect only with respect to such sum as is herein provided. Any other provisions of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, every unit member who shall have failed to fulfill the condition of employment as is herein prescribed shall be subject to immediate dismissal and shall be so dismissed by the Employer with effect no later than the end of the semester during which the Employer shall have acted to dismiss the unit member in accordance with the provisions of this Article; provided, however, that such dismissal shall be effected by notice promptly issued by the Employer or its designee to such unit member after the Association shall have notified the President that such unit member has not fulfilled the condition herein prescribed. The said notice shall be sent by registered mail, return receipt requested, and shall give such unit member fourteen (14) days from the date of its receipt to fulfill the said condition. Within the said fourteen (14) days, the Employer or its designees shall grant such unit member such opportunity to respond to the said notice as the Employer may from time to time prescribe for the purposes of this provision.

Agency Service Fee. Section 1. Each employee who elects not to join or maintain membership in the Union shall be required to pay as a condition of employment, beginning thirty (30) days following the commencement of his/her employment, an agency service fee to the Union in an amount that is equal to the amount required to become and remain a member in good standing of the exclusive bargaining agent.
Section 2. This Article shall not become operative until this Agreement has been formally executed, pursuant to a vote of a majority of all employees in that bargaining unit present and voting.
Section 3.

Section 4.4 This Article shall not become operative until the Agreement has been formally executed, pursuant to a vote of a majority of all bargaining unit members in the bargaining unit present and voting.
