Agency Shop. It is mutually agreed by the parties that this Unit is an agency shop Unit. It is the intent of the parties that the agency shop provisions in the Memorandum of Understanding comply with applicable state law (Government Code Section 3502.5).
Agency Shop. 17.1 The Agency Shop provisions shall be applied for the term of this agreement as follows:
17.2 Subject to Article III Section 4, payroll deductions, of the City's Employer-Employee Relations Resolution, upon the voluntary written authorization of bargaining unit employees, the City shall deduct and remit to the Association, the Association's initiation fee and periodic dues for members of the Association.
17.3 Any unit member who is not a member of the Association or who does not make application for membership within thirty (30) days following the effective date of this paragraph, or, for those hired after the effective date of this paragraph, within thirty (30) days from the date of commencement of duties, shall become a member of the Association or pay to the Association a fee in an amount equal to the Association's periodic dues; provided, however, that the unit member may authorize payroll deduction for such fee in the said manner as provided in paragraph 17.2
17.4 Dues withheld by the City shall be transmitted to the Association Officer designated in writing by the Association as the person authorized to receive such funds, at the address specified.
17.5 The parties agree that the obligations herein are a condition of continued employment for unit members. The parties further agree that the failure of any unit member to remain a member In good standing of the Association or to pay the equivalent of Association dues during the term of this agreement shall constitute, generally, just and reasonable cause for termination.
17.6 The City shall not be obligated to put into effect any new, changed or discontinued deduction until the pay period commencing fifteen (15) work days or more after such submission.
17.7 No unit member shall be required to join the Association or to make an agency fee payment if the unit member is an actual verified member of a bonafide religion, body, or sect which has historically held conscientious objections to joining or financially supporting employee organizations; this exemption shall not be granted unless and until such unit member has verified the specific circumstances. Such employee must, instead, arrange with the Association to satisfy his/her obligation by donating the equivalent amount to one of the non-labor, non-religion charitable funds, tax exempt under Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, listed below:
17.7.1 Riverside Police Officers Memorial Fund 17.7.2 Heart Association
Agency Shop. A. Since IUOE has certified it has an IUOE membership of at least fifty percent (50%) of the total number of full-time employees in Unit 13, IUOE is allowed to collect a "Fair Share" fee from non-IUOE members who are employees in Bargaining Xxxx 00. Membership in IUOE or payment of the IUOE Fair Share fee is not a condition of State employment.
B. Effective with the beginning of the first pay period following ratification of this Agreement by the Legislature and the Union the State employer agrees to deduct and transmit to IUOE all deductions authorized on a form provided by IUOE and, pursuant to Government Code section 3515.7, to deduct and transmit to IUOE all Fair Share fees from State employees in Unit 13 who do not elect to become members of IUOE. Such authorized dues deductions and Fair Share fees shall be remitted monthly to IUOE along with an adequate itemized record of deductions. IUOE shall pay any reasonable costs incurred by the State Controller. The State employer shall not be liable in any action brought by a State employee seeking recovery of, or damages for, improper use or calculation of Fair Share fees and IUOE agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold the State employer harmless for any such action.
C. Any employee may withdraw from IUOE by sending a signed withdrawal letter to IUOE within thirty (30) calendar days prior to the expiration of this Agreement, with a copy to the State Controller. Employees who withdraw from IUOE shall be subject to paying an IUOE Fair Share fee as provided above.
D. The amount of membership dues and Fair Share fees shall be set by IUOE and changed by the State upon written notice from IUOE. IUOE agrees to notice all affected employees any time there is a change in membership dues or Fair Share fees.
E. Under no circumstances is membership in IUOE or payment of IUOE Fair Share fees a condition of State employment for employees covered by this Agreement.
F. Pursuant to Government Code section 3515.7(c), any employee who is a member of a religious body whose traditional tenets or teachings include objections to joining or financially supporting employee organizations shall not be required to financially support IUOE. That employee, in lieu of a membership fee or a Fair Share fee deduction, shall instruct the State employer, via means prescribed by the State Controller, to deduct and pay sums equal to the Fair Share fee to a non-religious, non-labor organization, charitable fund approved by the State Victims Compen...

The aforementioned procedure shall not be substantially changed without the prior approval of the Board of Education.
