Article 6 - Union Security

Section A: Duration

  1. During the term of this Agreement, and to the extent the laws of the State of California permit, this Article shall remain in full force and effect until the thirtieth (30th) calendar day prior to the expiration date of this Agreement.

  2. During the term of this Agreement should Section 3583 of the Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act be amended, the parties agree that the Union may request to reopen the Agreement for purposes of renegotiation of Article VI only. The Union must request the reopening of this Article within thirty calendar days of the enactment of the amendment. The failure of the Union to request renegotiation within this period will serve as a waiver of its right to do so during the remainder of the term of the Agreement. If the Union requests reopening the Agreement in a timely manner, the parties will meet within thirty calendar days of the Union's timely request.

Section B: Maintenance of Membership

  1. Employees in this bargaining unit have the right to join or not to join the Union. An employee who decides to join the Union, shall remain a member in good standing by tendering to the Union periodic and uniformly required dues of the respective Locals within the Trades Council as determined by the employee's craft and that Local.
