Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as limiting the AFSC’s ability at its option
to utilize temporary or casual personnel, volunteers, independent contractors or other
miscellaneous non-bargaining unit workers. However, the AFSC agrees that the use of
temporary or casual personnel, volunteers, independent contractors or other
miscellaneous non-bargaining unit workers shall not directly result in the displacement
or replacement of an active Employee, except that if an Employee is terminated or laidoff,
or has resigned or retired, if then a volunteer agrees to perform the functions of the
position formerly held by the Employee, the AFSC shall be permitted to utilize the
volunteer.

Section 9      Displacing of Other Personnel

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as permitting or enabling an Employee to
displace temporary or casual personnel, volunteers, independent contractors or other
miscellaneous non-bargaining unit workers unless a grievance that questions the
correct use of persons in the listed categories is sustained.

Section 10      Definition of “Employee” vs. “employee”

Whenever “Employee” is referred to in this Agreement, it shall refer to an individual
employed within one of the Bargaining Units. When “employee” is referred to in this
Agreement, it shall refer to any individual employed within the AFSC at the National
Office.

ARTICLE II

UNION SECURITY

Section 1      Union Security: Union Membership

Any Employee who is a member of the Union at any time during the life of this
Agreement shall, for each calendar month of employment, tender to the Union as
membership dues an amount of money equal to the monthly dues uniformly charged by
the Union to all Employees who are members of the Union.

Except as otherwise provided herein, an Employee who is or who becomes a member of
the Union shall remain a member for the duration of this Agreement, except for the
fifteen (15) day period prior to the expiration of this Agreement, during which time a
member may resign. After resignation, such Employee shall comply with Section 2 of
this Article II.

An Employee who is or who becomes a member of the Union and who, because of
sincerely-held conscientious beliefs, objects to remaining or is unable to remain a
member may resign at any time. Prior to resigning, the member shall present to the
AFSC and the Union a signed statement explaining her/his sincerely-held conscientious
beliefs. The sincerity of such beliefs shall not be subject to the Grievance/Arbitration
Procedures of this Agreement. After resignation, the Employee shall comply with
