The Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act (HEERA) was amended in January 2000 to establish an "agency shop" at the University of California. (HEERA §3583.5). By law, UC employees who are represented by a union but do not join and pay membership dues are required to pay a "fair share" fee through mandatory paycheck deductions. The deductions help pay the union's costs for negotiations, contract administration, and related representational activities. Fair share fees must be paid by all employees in the Police unit who are not dues paying members of the Federated University Police Officers Association (FUPOA), regardless of their thoughts about unionization. The only exception under the law is for an employee "who is a member of a bona fide religion, body or sect that has historically held conscientious objections to joining or financially supporting public employee organizations." (HEERA §3584). Police Officers may apply to FUPOA for conscientious objector (CO) status. Once FUPOA grants CO status, the employee may select one of the charities agreed to by FUPOA and UC, to which the fees will be paid (see chart below, under CO Charities). Employees who wish to apply for conscientious objector status must contact FUPOA directly. FUPOA DUES STRUCTURE AND FAIR SHARE FEES (effective November, 2011)
