Examples of Non-Chargeable Expenses

  • Lobbying, unless necessary to ratify or fund the nonmember's specific collective bargaining agreement.
  • Electoral politics, including ballot and bond issues.
  • Public relations activities.
  • Litigation not specifically on behalf of the nonmember's bargaining unit.
  • Engaging in illegal strikes.
  • Organizing.
  • Union "members only" benefits.
  • Portions of union publications reporting on the above seven categories.

The Courts are still sorting out what types of expenses are chargeable and which are not chargeable. No union expense is chargeable to an objecting nonmember unless the union proves it is related to collective bargaining, contract administration and grievance adjustment before a neutral decisionmaker.
