Re: Labor Unions
If your company's contract with the Union contains a Union Security provision (most California collective bargaining agreements contain such a clause), you will be required to maintain membership in the union, (or tender a an amount close to dues) as a condition of employment. I you fail to maintain our obligation to the Union - you can be terminated.
