[QUOTE="JonFrum, post: 793584, member: 18044"] Sober, the calculated amount of the Agency Fee is is a matter of Law. Certain Union expenses involving negotiating an administrating a Contract, processing a grievance etc. are included in the calculation. That's to insure the Agency Fee Payor is not a so-called "freerider" by anyone's definition. If the Union provides certain additional benefits to [U]members[/U] [U]only[/U], like a life insurance policy, the Agency Fee Payor is not entitled to that coverage an so should not have it's cost included in the calculation of the Agency Fee. (This is a Union members only coverage; not to be confused with any benefits like pension, health insurance, or life insurance provided to all bargaining unit members in the Contract and paid for as part of their compensation package.) In other words, if the Union-members-only life insurance is worth more than the extra $5, this means your Local is not calculating the Agency Fee correctly according to the Law and is overcharging the Agency Fee Payor.
