B.  Employees included in a Federation local bargaining unit who decide not to join the union -    

   

     Such employees receive the benefits and protections of bargaining unit membership and shall pay, each pay period, to the Federation a contract maintenance fee which shall be an amount of money equal to the amount paid by active Federation members under Section A above.  The contract maintenance fee is equal to the amount paid by active Federation members so as to reflect the equal services rendered to and benefits received by all members of the bargaining unit local.  This contract maintenance fee shall entitle such non-member bargaining unit employees to representation under the collective bargaining agreement, and to all employment-related legal services set forth in the Federation Legal Services Plan.  Such non-member bargaining unit employees shall have no voting rights relating to ratification and/or amendment of the collective bargaining agreement, but shall have no voting rights relating to Federation union business.
