Bargaining Unit members who do not want to become full union members are fee-payers: they still pay the equivalent of dues (minus the $10 that goes to the political action fund) to P-fac, because they benefit from the same contract provisions and collective bargaining rights as full members. (III, 1A) Fair Share payers have a legitimate business (I,1B) or religious (III,1D) reason for not wanting to join a union. For example, a part-time faculty member who has a fulltime management position with a non-Columbia College employer could have a qualifying conflict of interest. Those with work or religious objections must document them (in writing) and make a donation equivalent to dues to the P-fac Scholarship fund at Columbia, or to another IEA-approved charity.
