Five (5) employees of the Association shall be eligible to participate in the medical insurance program of the University (including eligibility to the Retirees’ Program of Medical Insurance) without University subsidy. Article VI A. Association Dues and Fair-Share Agency Fees 1. If a bargaining-unit member who is otherwise obliged, as described above, to pay Association dues or fair-share agency fees fails to tender the dues or fees required, the bargaining-unit member shall have the option to designate the equivalent of one hundred percent (100%) of the current annual Association dues, in the case of bargaining-unit members with tenure or ESS or who have worked at Xxxxx State University for seven (7) or more years as of September 1, 2002, or one hundred ten percent (110%) of the current annual Association dues in the case of all other bargaining-unit members, to the Xxxxxxx’x University scholarship or research funds. 2. If a bargaining-unit member who is required to do so fails to tender a duly executed authorization card within ninety (90) days of the date of his/her hire, or fails to agree to make a contribution to the Xxxxxxx’x University scholarship or research funds, the Association shall notify the bargaining-unit member by certified or express mail that s/he is delinquent in not tendering the professional dues or fair-share agency fees or in making a contribution, and it shall specify the current amount of the delinquency. The bargaining-unit member shall have thirty (30) days to correct the delinquency and tender the appropriate form. 3. If the bargaining-unit member fails to make an election within thirty (30) days, the Association shall so notify the University, including appropriate documentation demonstrating that the bargaining-unit member has been duly notified and has failed to correct the deficiency. The bargaining-unit member shall then be notified that s/he has failed to comply with the terms of this Agreement and is subject to a two (2)-day layoff. 4. If the bargaining-unit member fails to make an election within the next thirty (30) days, the University shall notify him/her that s/he shall be laid off for two (2) days. 5. If the bargaining-unit member fails to comply with the requirements specified herein, s/he shall be laid off for the first two (2) days of winter semester break. A bargaining-unit member’s lay-off for two (2) days, with a corresponding deduction in his/her academic-year base salary, shall serve to cancel the entire obligation for which the bargaining-unit member is or may be obligated during each academic year. In no instance shall a bargaining-unit member be laid off under this provision more than once during an academic year. The layoff of a bargaining-unit member shall not be subject to any provision of this Agreement deemed inconsistent therewith. Grievances arising out of this Article shall be limited to whether or not the bargaining- unit member paid the membership dues or fair-share agency fee, or made the contribution, as provided herein. All other grievances shall be barred.
