Since it is effectively the union that negotiates the pay increases (and by union, I mean all financial members of the union, along with the delegates, etc), I think it would be only fair to charge non-union members a fee to sign-on to a new EBA. Why should you all have to pay hundreds of dollars each year in union fees but they pay nothing, yet get the same results? An EBA negotiating fee would be fair for those people. Especially when it has taken industrial action to get the results!
