specifying the time period covered by the payment. Payroll deductions for fees
will not be made for that period. Such direct payments may be made

organization as a condition of employment. Once such unit member has
submitted evidence
to CCFT which proves that he/she sincerely holds such beliefs, that unit
member will be required, in lieu of service fee, to pay by payroll deduction
sums equal to such service fee to the non-religious, non-labor Cabrillo
College Foundation, which is a charitable fund exempt from taxation under

to above shall or shall not be compromised, resisted, defended, tried
or appealed.
