Statute Text
Excessive membership fee.
It is an unfair labor practice for a labor organization or its agents to
require of employees covered by an agreement authorized under ORS 663.125 the
payment, as a condition precedent to becoming a member of the organization, of
a fee in an amount which the Employment Relations Board finds excessive or
discriminatory under all the circumstances. In making such a finding the board
shall consider, among other relevant factors, the practices and customs of
labor organizations in the particular industry, and the wages currently paid to
the employees affected. [1971 c.729 §10]
