SA-CO-294-S

Decision Date: May 7, 2007

Decision Type: PERB Decision

Description:  The charge alleged that SEIU Local 1000, CSEA violated the Dills Act by failing to redirect the charging party’s “fair share” dues to a charitable organization.

Disposition:  The Board affirmed the dismissal because a union member does not have a right under Dills Act section 3515.7(c) to have his or her union dues redirected to a charitable organization.  Rather, a “religious objector” may have sums equal to a “fair share fee” redirected under that section.
