Can the Agency Fee be rescinded?

The Agency Fee may be rescinded (or eliminated) by a majority vote in a secret ballot election of all employees in a particular bargaining unit. To hold an election, a petition must be served on the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) containing signatures of at least 30% of the employees in that bargaining unit. No more than one vote can be taken during the term of any contract in effect on or after January 1, 2000.
