69U: Amount of bargaining fee
or “The fee for bargaining help can't be more than what union members pay.”
You could also call this:

“The bargaining fee rule stops working when the work agreement it's part of ends.”

When a collective agreement includes a bargaining fee clause, that clause will end when the collective agreement itself ends. This means the bargaining fee clause doesn’t continue on its own after the agreement is over. You should know that the bargaining fee clause is tied to the life of the collective agreement it’s part of.
