Membership Choice. Every employee in the bargaining unit (each "bargaining unit member") can freely choose to become a member of the Association (to "join" the Association), or to not become a member of the Association (to "not join" the Association). Bargaining unit membership and Association membership are distinct. An employee covered by this collective bargaining agreement is always a bargaining unit member, but such employee may become an Association member only by choice.
