Common use of Employee Organization Rights Clause in Contracts

Employee Organization Rights. 2.1 The District and CSEA recognize the right of unit members to form, join and participate in lawful activities of employee organizations. 2.1.1 The District recognizes that as of January 1, 2001, Government Code Section 3546 amended the Educational Employment Relations Act to provide in part: Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, any public school employee who is in a unit for which an exclusive representative has been selected pursuant to this chapter shall be required, as a condition of continued employment, either to join the recognized employee organization or to pay a fair share service fee. The amount of the fee shall not exceed the dues that are payable by members of the employee organization and shall cover the cost of negotiation, contract administration, and other activities of the employee organization that are germane to its function as the exclusive bargaining representative. Upon notification to the employer by the exclusive representative, the amount of the fee shall be deducted by the employer from the wages or salary of the employee and paid to the employee organization. 2.2 The District agrees to abide by all State and Federal laws with regard to discrimination and affirmative action. The District agrees to abide by the Government Code Section 3546 (agency fee for all employees) as long as that code section is in force in the State of California. In the event that Government Code Section 3546 is no longer in force, the parties agree to meet and negotiate over any impacts on the bargaining unit. 2.3 The District shall provide CSEA with a copy of the District Personnel Directory as it is changed or updated. The District will continue to forward to CSEA member applications and authorizations for payroll deductions for every unit member hired.
