Requirement That Caregivers Pay Union Agency Fees

By Derk Wilcox, published on Oct. 23, 2012

Proponents of Proposal 4 maintain that the caregivers could withdraw from the union if they don’t want to be a member. While this is technically true, the collective bargaining agreement can — and with virtual certainty would, as it does now — still require care providers to pay so-called “agency fees” to the union as compensation for the union’s collective bargaining and administrative work.
