  Rand Formula   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The Rand Formula is a form of union security whereby an employer deducts a portion of the salaries of all employees within a bargaining unit, union members or not, to go to the union as union dues ("checkoff").
It was named for a decision handed down 29 Jan 1946 by Mr Justice Ivan RAND of the Supreme Court of Canada while he was arbitrating the WINDSOR STRIKE (12 Sept-20 Dec 1945).
The original formula was based on the assumption that the union is essential for all workers and must be responsible for them.
