.- FAIR SHARE REBATE FAQ's FOR LOCAL REPRESENTATIVES
The following information is provided to association representatives for the purpose of responding to
general inquiries regarding fair share. If a member or fee payer has a specific question that is not
.-. answered below, please have them contact Nancy Kaczmarek (KaczmarekN@weac.org), WEAC Legal
Counsel, at 800-362-8034 ext. 314. This written information is not intended for general dissemination to
members or fee payers.
.-. bargaining unit are required to pay their proportionate share of the cost of the "collective
bargaining process and contract administration" as measured by the amount of dues uniformly
required of all members. Such an agreement contains a provision requiring the employer to

2. What is a fair share fee payer?
A fair share fee payer is a unit member who elects not to be a union member. Fair share fee
payers are required to pay their proportionate share of dues related to collective bargaining and
,.,. contract administration. Fair share fee payers may request a rebate for activities that relate to
non-chargeable expenditures, such as charitable contributions, lobbying and organizing efforts.
,... 3.
Fees used for direct political action are automatically rebated to all fee payers (Refer to #10).
,.,. No. A union member who wishes to become a fair share fee payer must direct a signed, written
letter to WEAC's President or their Local Association President requesting termination of union
,.,. 4.
membership.
,.,. Fair share fee payers are provided the same representation in all employment matters as full
dues-paying members. Fee payers may participate in contract ratification votes only pursuant to
,.-
local approval. Union-negotiated benefits, including union-negotiated insurance plans and tax-
The NEA's Educator's Employment Liability (EEL) insurance program is also a "member-only"
benefit; therefore, fair share fee payers are technically ineligible for participation. However,
WEAC has adopted the position that fair share fee payers who do not request a rebate are entitled
to EEL insurance coverage because they have paid for the policy. The NEA does not agree with
this position, but at this time allows WEAC to enroll those fair share employees who do not
request a fee rebate in the EEL program. The NEA may decide in the future to limit EEL
coverage to active members only.
6. Are fair share fee payers assessed an amount equal to full dues?
Yes. Under most local association fair share procedures, deductions initially are made for a fee
certification that is equal in amount to the NEA/WEAC/UniServ/Local dues. Fair share rebates
are subsequently issued by WEAC.
10. Do fair share fee payers need to request arebate for the Political Action Committee (PAC)
assessment?
No. Fair share fee payers are automatically refunded their WEAC and UniServ PAC assessment.
