(1) Existing law regulates the labor relations of the state, the courts, and specified local public entities and their employees and grants specified public employees of these entities the right to form, join, and participate in the activities of employee organizations of their choosing. The Ralph C. Dills Act defines "fair share fee" as the fee deducted by the state employer from the salary or wages of a state employee in an appropriate unit who does not become a member of, and financially support, the recognized employee organization, and prescribes conditions for its use. The Meyers-Milias-Brown Act, if an agency shop agreement is in place, provides for the payment of an agency fee, which requires an employee either to join the recognized employee organization or pay a fee, as specified. A recent Supreme Court opinion held that fair share and agency fees violate the free speech rights of employees who are not employee organization members.
