Fair Share Fee Deductions. In Janus v. AFSCME, 585 U.S. (2018), the Supreme Court held that fair share clauses, such as those contained in Article III, Sections 3.2 through 3.4, and a portion of Section 3.5, are unconstitutional. Local 4106 and the District agree to strike the fair share provisions contained in Article III, Sections 3.2 through 3.4 and the portion of Section 3.5 that pertains to fair share in their entirety, replace Section 3.2 with this language, and re-number the remaining Sections accordingly. However, in the event the law changes such that fair share fee deductions are not deemed unconstitutional, Union and the District agree to reinstate and re-incorporate Article III, Section 3.2 through 3.4 and the portion of Section 3.5 that pertains to fair share, as it appears in the Parties’ 2016-2020 collective bargaining agreement, into the collective bargaining agreement in effect, or that is being negotiated, at the time the law changes.
