(c) Refuse or fail to engage in meeting and conferring with the higher education employer.

(d) Refuse to participate in good faith in the impasse procedure set forth in Article 9 (commencing with Section 3590).

(e) Fail to represent fairly and impartially all the employees in the unit for which it is the exclusive representative.

(f) Require of employees covered by a memorandum of understanding to which it is a party the payment of a fee, as a condition precedent to becoming a member of such organization, in an amount which the board finds excessive or discriminatory under all the circumstances. In making such a finding, the board shall consider, among other relevant factors, the practices and customs of employee organizations in higher education, and the wages currently paid to the employees affected.

(g) Cause, or attempt to cause, an employer to pay or deliver, or agree to pay or deliver, any money or other thing of value, in the nature of an exaction, for services which are not performed or are not to be performed.
