"Agency Shop" is an arrangement that requires
an employee, as a condition of employment, either to
join the recognized employee organization, or to pay
the organization a service fee covering the cost of
representation to the employee organization. A limited
exemption to the Agency Shop requirement exists for
employees with bona-fide religious objections to joining
or financially supporting any public employee organization.
The County of Santa Barbara has two bargaining units
with full Agency Shop, covering all unit members:

Shop provision IF:
