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

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.

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,
