Each Teacher shall, as a condition of employment, join the Association or pay to the Association a service fee pursuant to the Association’s “Policy Regarding Objections to Political Ideological Expenditures” and the administrative procedures adopted pursuant to that policy. This obligation commences thirty (30) days after the execution of this Agreement, or the completion of a Teacher’s first thirty (30) days of employment, whichever is later. The service fee shall not exceed the amount of yearly dues collected from Association members. Teachers who have sincere religious objections to joining or contributing to labor organizations such as the Association may satisfy the requirement of this paragraph by making a contribution in the amount of the service fee to a charitable organization mutually agreed upon between the Employer and the Association.
B. At the beginning of each school year, the Association shall provide written notification to all employees and the Employer in writing of the amount of its dues and service fees. The parties acknowledge that the amount of the service fee charged to non-members along with other required information may not be available and transmitted to non-members until mid-school year.

In such event, it is understood that the employee remains obligated for the entire yearly service fee.
C. The Association’s “Policy Regarding Objections to Political-Ideological Expenditures” and the administrative procedures (including the timetable for payment) pursuant thereto, applies only to Teachers who are not members of the Association. The remedies set forth in that policy shall be exclusive, and unless and until such procedures, including any administrative or judicial review thereof, shall have been availed of and exhausted, no dispute, claim or complaint by an objecting Teacher concerning the application and interpretation of that policy shall be subject to the grievance procedure set forth in this Agreement, or to any other administrative or judicial procedure.

The Union ’s decision thereon, shall be final and binding upon all parties protected by this Section.
